Lawsuit Challenges Pennsylvania County's Mail-In Ballot Policy

Washington County accused of misleading voters about disqualified ballots, impacting election integrity.

Seven voters and advocacy groups filed suit against Washington County for not informing voters of ballot errors.
The county's policy change in 2024 marked defective mail-in ballots as 'received,' misleading voters about their status.
Prior to 2024, voters were notified of errors and allowed to correct them; the policy shift has since disenfranchised 259 voters.
The lawsuit seeks to declare the policy unconstitutional and ensure voters are informed about their ballot status.
A ruling could set a precedent affecting election procedures across Pennsylvania.
