Federal Court Upholds Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballot Date Requirement

- The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals rejected an en banc review of a previous decision that undated or incorrectly dated mail-in ballots are invalid.
- This decision affects thousands of ballots and may influence the upcoming 2024 elections in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.

- The ruling underscores ongoing tensions and legal interpretations regarding voter eligibility and ballot validity.
