Pennsylvania Supreme Court extends mail-in ballot deadlines to three days after Election Day

LINK

Pennsylvania’s highest court on Thursday handed victories to the Democratic Party in an election-related lawsuit that sought favorable fixes to glitches and gray areas in the battleground state’s fledgling mail-in voting law.

The state Supreme Court, which has a 5-2 Democratic majority, granted the Democratic Party’s request to order an extension of Pennsylvania’s Election Day-deadline to count mailed-in ballots for three days after Election Day.

It also authorized the use of satellite election offices and drop boxes — which Philadelphia and its heavily populated suburbs are planning to use help relieve the pressure from an avalanche of mailed-in ballots expected in the Nov. 3 presidential election.

The court’s ruling comes as Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, and the Republican-controlled Legislature are at a stalemate over some of the issues, less than seven weeks before the election.

It reads like they have a few days after election to count them, which is customary, as long as they are received by election day.

Am I reading that wrong?

every fraudulent vote disenfranchises a legitimate voter

What we are really dealing with is disenfranchisement on a mass scale.

What is democratic about that?

If that is the case, counting and results should not be completed until those 3 days are up. I am fine with them doing that, as long they make it fair.

It will not be fair if they release "X" candidate has a 10,000 vote lead after election day and then 10,001 ballots come in for candidate "Y"

NO COUNTING UNTIL THE CLOCK IS UP!!!

Does this mean you can mail them after the election? Can be postmarked after Nov. 3? Postmarked before the 3rd but can be counted if received after?

Article is vague

Well the Dems need to know how many fake votes they need. How would they know this on election day?

You folks need to start realizing no one is going to accept the election results.

Get your things in order.

From the mail-in ballot expansion passed last year. It clearly says that the ballot has to be received by 8 pm on the day of the election. Then the board has to meet no later than the 3rd day following the election to canvass the ballots that were received by 8 pm on primary/election day. LINK

quote:

(ii) An absentee ballot cast by any absentee elector as defined in section 1301(i), (j), (k), (l), (m) and (n), an absentee ballot under section 1302(a.3) or a mail-in ballot cast by a mail-in elector shall be canvassed in accordance with this subsection if the absentee ballot or mail-in ballot is received in the office of the county board of elections no later than eight o'clock P.M. on the day of the primary or election.

(2) The county board of elections shall meet [on the eighth day following the election to canvass] no earlier than the close of polls on the day of the election and no later than the third day following the election to begin canvassing the absentee ballots and mail-in ballots received under this subsection and subsection (h)(2). The canvass shall continue through the eighth day following the election. One authorized representative of each candidate in an election and one representative from each political party shall be permitted to remain in the room in which the absentee ballots and mail-in ballots are canvassed. Representatives shall be permitted to challenge any absentee elector or mail-in elector in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (3).
