Pennsylvania Supreme Court Agrees To Hear Trump Claims Over Invalid Ballots<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to hear claims by President Trump’s campaign\u00a0challenging approximately 8,000 mail-in ballots<\/strong>, which the campaign insists should be disqualified\u00a0because they were improperly filled out<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the claim, the ballots in question bear voter signatures, yet do not contain\u00a0hand-written names, addresses or dates\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>on the outside of their return envelopes.<\/p>\n

The move comes after a lower court in Philadelphia denied the campaign’s request on Friday, finding that voters’ names and addresses were already pre-printed on the envelopes, while state election law left the definition of ‘filling out’ a ballot ambiguous, according to\u00a0Bloomberg<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday,\u00a0the highest court in the state agreed to exercise emergency jurisdiction to rule on whether those ballots should be disqualified<\/strong>\u00a0– and will not consider any allegations of fraud and irregularity.<\/p>\n

Of note,\u00a0there are two Republicans and five Democrats on the PA Supreme Court<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Bloomberg<\/em>\u00a0notes, however, the Trump campaign has not had a lot of luck with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which ruled before a bid by the campaign to disqualify mail-in ballots which were postmarked before Election Day but received up to three days after. Meanwhile, the court also ruled on Tuesday that Republican poll watchers weren’t entitled to stand a specific distance while monitoring ballot-counts for potential fraud.<\/p>\n
