County was wrong to reject provisional ballots from voters who made mail ballot errors, Pa. court says

by Carter Walker of Votebeat | Sept. 6, 2024


HARRISBURG — A judge got it wrong when he decided that Butler County did not have to count provisional ballots from voters whose mail ballots were rejected because of an error, Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled Thursday.

Lawyers for voting rights groups that brought the case said the ruling would set a statewide standard.

Meanwhile, a broader case on whether mail ballots can be rejected because voters failed to properly date their return envelopes is moving forward after an appeal, setting the stage for a state Supreme Court decision.

The fast-moving cases underscore the political importance of Pennsylvania’s votes in the run-up to the November election. Decisions in these cases involving long-running disputes over the state’s voting rules are likely to influence how the election is conducted and whose votes get counted — which could determine the outcome itself.

Pennsylvania county must tell voters if it counted their mail-in ballot, court rules

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Republican-controlled county in Pennsylvania violated state law when election workers refused to tell voters whether their mail-in ballot would be counted in April’s primary election, an appeals court ruled Tuesday.

The case is one of several election-related lawsuits being fought in courts in Pennsylvania, a presidential battleground state where November’s contest between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris could be close. Through a 2-1 decision, the statewide Commonwealth Court panel upheld a Washington County judge’s month-old order.

The order requires county employees to notify any voter whose mail-in ballot is rejected because of an error — such as a missing signature or missing handwritten date — so that the voter has an opportunity to challenge the decision. It also requires Washington County to allow those voters to vote by provisional ballot.

In the 19-page majority opinion, Judge Michael Wojcik wrote that the county’s past policy “emasculates” the law’s guarantees that voters can protest the rejection of their ballot and take advantage of the “statutory failsafe” of casting a provisional ballot.

This is showing that at least 2 different PA counties DID reject the idea of "provisional ballots" as an option.

The GOP doesn't give a shit about "federal law" (the provisional requirement, for whatever covered circumstance, was codified with the "Help America Vote Act" (HAVA)) and will attempt to come up with any reason to gum up the works.
