The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday ordered all 67 counties to comply with their earlier ruling and shall not count undated or misdated ballots.
In September the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that undated ballots or improperly dated ballots won’t be counted.
In August a lower court ruled it was unconstitutional to reject improperly dated mail-in ballots.
The Pennsylvania Republican Party and the RNC took legal action and appealed the court’s decision.
The state’s Supreme Court ruled in their favor in September, however, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, broke the law by counting undated and incorrectly dated ballots in a race already won by President Trump and GOP Senator-elect Dave McCormick.
Last week the Democrat Commissioners in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, bragged about violating the law and ignoring a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling and continued to count illegal ballots.
Democrat Commissioner Diane Marseglia (who donated to Bob Casey’s campaign) openly bragged about violating the law and defying the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling.
“We all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it,” Democrat Diane Marseglia said.
