All counties "including the Boards of Elections in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County, SHALL COMPLY with the prior rulings of this Court..."
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has reiterated its ruling that ballots with improper dates on them in the US Senate race between GOP challenger Dave McCormick as well as Democrat incumbent Bob Casey in Pennsylvania cannot be counted in Bucks Couty or any other area of Pennsylvania.
According the order of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, it directs that all counties "including the Boards of Elections in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County, SHALL COMPLY with the prior rulings of this Court in which we have clarified that mail-in and absentee ballots that fail to comply with the requirements of the Pennsylvania Election Code ... SHALL NOT BE COUNTED for purposes of the election held on November 5, 2024."
The Senate race has been thrown to a recount due to the tight margins, however, in Bucks County and other Democrat-controlled areas elections boards had tried to thwart a ruling from the state Supreme Court that rules ballots had to have proper dates and signatures in order to be counted.
The automatic recount started on Monday and is set to finish up by November 26 next week. Prior to the court order, multiple Democrat-controlled counties were ignoring a previous ruling by the state's Supreme Court that said mail-in ballots were not eligible to count if they had the wrong date or were not dated. Recounts in Pennsylvania races take place if the margin between the candidates is less than 0.5 percent of the vote.
Democratic Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia previously said after the first ruling from the court, "I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country."
"People violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes,” Ellis-Marseglia added at the time, openly saying that Bucks County would try to count the ineligible ballots.
