Democrats typically outvote Republicans by mail by about 3-to-1 in Pennsylvania, and the decision by a state Commonwealth Court panel could mean that hundreds…
A court decision in the presidential battleground of Pennsylvania means voters can cast a provisional ballot in place of a mail-in ballot that is rejected for a garden-variety mistake they made when they returned it.Parties in the case couldn't immediately say how many Pennsylvania counties don't let voters replace a rejected mail-in ballot with a provisional ballot.
The three-member panel ruled that nothing in state law prevented Republican-controlled Butler County from counting two voters’ provisional ballots in the April 23 primary election, even if state law is ambiguous.A provisional ballot is typically cast at a polling place on Election Day and is separated from regular ballots in cases when elections workers need more time to determine a voter’s eligibility to vote.
The decision will apply to all 67 counties, lawyers in the case say. It's not entirely clear how many Pennsylvania counties haven't let voters replace a rejected mail-in ballot with a provisional ballot, although the plaintiffs' lawyers listed nine other counties that they say may have had followed such a policy in April's primary election.
