The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that all misdated or undated ballots must be set aside and not counted until it is decided to do with those ballots. Manufacturing votes by leaving out the dates are a favorite of the Democrats and right now it does not seem likely they will get away with it. Pennsylvania law is clear. Voters must sign and date their absentee ballots. Gov. Tom Wolf had instructed election officials t count all of these votes.
The court wrote:
“The Pennsylvania county boards of elections are hereby ORDERED to refrain from counting any absentee and mail-in ballots received for the November 8, 2022 general election that is contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes.”
“We hereby DIRECT that the Pennsylvania county boards of elections segregate and preserve any ballots contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes.”
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court opposes Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration, which told local voting precincts to count these votes. Somehow, I get the feeling that many counties will count the votes anyway, defying the court.
Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel called the court’s decision a “massive victory.”
McDaniel said:
This ruling is a massive victory for Pennsylvania voters and the rule of law. Following an RNC, NRCC, and PAGOP lawsuit, Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court has made clear that incorrectly dated and undated mail ballots can not be counted. Republicans went to court, and now Democrats and all counties have to follow the law: this is a milestone in Republicans’ ongoing efforts to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat in Pennsylvania and nationwide.
The decision could be considered a victory for Republicans, but America First Policy Institute Center for Election Integrity chairman Ken Blackwell warned that this could just be a tactical fallback by the Democrats on the court.
Blackwell said:
This is a big win for election integrity, leaving open the question as to how a partisan Democrat state supreme court could have voted for it. There was a question about whether this requirement could be severed from other items the Left cares about. Given that, I’m raising my eyebrows as to whether this was a tactical retreat.
The justices were split about whether the date requirement for mail-in ballots would violate the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964, which says immaterial errors should not be used to prohibit voting.
Three Democrat justices would find the dating requirement to be a violation of federal law, while one Democrat and two Republican justices see no violation. The justices’ opinions were not immediately released.
Out of the nearly 1.4 million mail-in ballots Pennsylvania voters requested, counties have reported receiving over 850,000 completed ballots, the Associated Press reported.
The case is Ball v. Chapman, No. 102 MM 2022, in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
It remains to be seen what will be done with these votes in the end, but we know for certain that counting those votes would violate the laws of Pennsylvania. If the Democrats need those votes in order to win, they will find some way to do it.

Just because the Court ruled to throw them out, doesn’t necessarily mean that demmunist/commucrap election officials will. Unless, of course, it’s a ballot voting Republican.
STAY WELL, SAFE, FREE & BRAVE!
You are exactly right! I can just about guarantee you that PA fraudsters will find a way to count those ballots. They know they can’t win without cheating. It’s either cheat or lose. And they are not about to lose.
I agree! Just hope there’s no crooked “democrat” postal worker who decides to “pre-date” any ballots!?!?
In 2020, I received what looked like a mail-in ballot from the Secretary of State Elections Division, PO Box 1767, Jefferson City, MO 65102, (GoVoteMissouri.com) for the 2020 elections! I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA CITY, OK!!!??? It was addressed to “Current Resident” with my address on it. When I peek inside of it (as the sides of it are open), it looks like it is telling me about mail-in and absentee ballots and when to mail them back in and to be sure they are date-stamped, etc. Just wondered WHY Missouri Elections Division would be sending me this info when I do not live in that state (never have)? I never did receive one of these from the Oklahoma Elections Division? BTW – I still have this piece of mail (unopened)!
Who, where and how were these tainted? This should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. There need to be repercussions for stunts like this.
You have to have a governor who isn’t afraid, and believes and abides by the Constitution – which won’t happen as the governor of PA is a new party communist. . I live in Florida, my home state and Governor DeSantis doesn’t play around. Those who commit voter fraud regardless what side of the aisle in FL are finding themselves in prison.
Devildemots WILL use FRAUD, as proven in 2020, to get their way in elections!!!!!I don’t believe they will obey the court order as they regularly ignore any decision they don’t like!!!!!!!!!!
This was far from a ‘tactical retreat’ by the court. It was more like a way for the court not to be rightly accused of favoring the Dems, when election integrity is a hot issue. To be honest, if you fail to correctly fill out a loan application, you most assuredly will not get the loan. Knowing that, how is this not different? But given the dastardly nature of the Dems, they’ll find some sneaky way to get those extra ballots counted, because it suits their purpose.
“The justices were split about whether the date requirement for mail-in ballots would violate the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964, which says immaterial errors should not be used to prohibit voting. Three Democrat justices would find the dating requirement to be a violation of federal law”
So basically, the three leftist justices are saying that some American citizens are incapable of filling out the date because of their race? Boy does that sound racist!
That is the way Dead people vote in PA, I am sure they will find a way for the votes to count. That is a whole group of people the government would disenfranchise, if they don’t count dead people.
I went to early voting at poll place. As I walked in I saw a drop box and wondered, “if people ordered a mail-in or absentee ballot, why do we need drop boxes if they were going to be away from home in Florida and couldn’t vote in person?” The drop box was at the polling place and there wasn’t a line and you could go right through and vote in-person.
Make mail in ballots null and void, and illegal!! VOTE IN PERSON!!
It is time for the Courts to rule on the Law period
This is EXACTLY what happened in 2020, and what was decided was that all votes were counted, didn’t want to “disenfranchise those voters” and Joe Biden won. What makes any republican think we are going to win this election when there were no repercussions for stealing the election in 2020. The New Jersey governors election last year was won by democrats after 45,000 +/- votes were “found” at 1:52 am election night from a county that was already 100 % counted. No one went to jail, democrats win. Repeat.
I may need your help. I’ve been doing research on gate io recently, and I’ve tried a lot of different things. Later, I read your article, and I think your way of writing has given me some innovative ideas, thank you very much.
