The Pennsylvania Supreme Court just tossed out a decision from the Commonwealth Court like a bad apple.
It’s officially been declared that counting undated ballots will not be allowed.
This is a huge win!
And right after President Trump’s big (easy) win in the debate against Kamala Harris.
Let’s keep the momentum going!
BREAKING: Pennsylvania Supreme Court rules that mail-in ballots that are undated and misdated will *not* be counted in the 2024 election.
The development, which is a huge win for Republicans, is expected to impact thousands of votes in November.

Collin Rugg writes on X:
The PA Supreme Court vacated a Commonwealth Court ruling, saying they “lacked subject matter jurisdiction to review the matter.”
“The Commonwealth Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to review the matter given the failure to name the county boards of elections of all 67 counties,” the court wrote.
“This is a huge win to protect the vote in Pennsylvania that will protect commonsense mail ballot safeguards and help voters cast their ballots with confidence.
The Keystone State will be absolutely critical in this election, and the Supreme Court has decided a major victory for election integrity,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said.
The amount of ways to steal an election, that was available in 2020, isn’t going to be there this year.
There’s no stealing your way out of this one.
Which begs the question, if this election can’t be stolen, will something be done to try to disrupt it?

A local Pennsylvania news reports:
By a 4-3 vote, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated a decision by the state’s Commonwealth Court, finding it unconstitutional for undated mail ballots to be counted.
Justices Kevin Dougherty, Sallie Updyke Mundy, Kevin Brobson and Daniel McCaffery wrote that the Commonwealth Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to review the matter given the failure to name the county boards of elections of all 67 counties,” and because the joinder of Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt “did not suffice to invoke the Commonwealth Court’s original jurisdiction.”
Commonwealth Court had ruled that strict enforcement of the Election Code’s requirement that electors write a date on the envelope of their absentee or mail-in ballot violated the Free and Equal Elections clause of the Pennsylvania Constitution.
Justice David Wecht, writing in his dissent, said that “a prompt and definitive ruling on the constitutional question presented in this appeal is of paramount public importance inasmuch as it will affect the counting of ballots in the upcoming general election.”
