Pennsylvania Court Allows 'Curing' of Mail-In Ballots

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled against Republican efforts to block voters from correcting errors in mail-in ballots, citing timing issues with the lawsuit.

• The court's decision permits election officials to inform voters of mistakes in their mail-in ballots, allowing corrections before the election.
• The ruling is a setback for Republicans, who argued that local election boards lacked legislative authority to implement 'notice and cure' procedures.
• Pennsylvania is a critical battleground state in the upcoming presidential election, with 19 electoral votes at stake.
• The case is part of a broader Republican legal strategy involving over 120 voting-related lawsuits across 26 states.
• Voting rights groups argue the Republican legal actions aim to suppress Democratic votes, while Republicans claim they are ensuring election integrity.
