Pennsylvania Supreme Court delivers win for voters « In a win for voters, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that counties must count provisional ballots cast by voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected for missing an inner secrecy envelope. The Republican National Committee (RNC) wanted to disenfranchise these voters. « In Pennsylvania, mail-in ballots must be submitted with an inner secrecy envelope inside the return envelope. "Naked" ballots — votes submitted without the secrecy envelope — are rejected. Today's ruling ensures voters will have a chance to cast a ballot that will be counted. Numerous absentee ballots in Philadelphia rejected due to minor errors « Over 1,200 mail-in ballots have been rejected so far in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania due to issues with signatures, dates and secrecy envelopes. Impacted voters can get a replacement ballot or vote provisionally in person to ensure their vote is counted. « An important reminder for Pennsylvania voters: don't forget to sign and date your ballot return envelope and include the inner secrecy envelope.
