GOP Asks SCOTUS To Shorten PA Ballot Counting

The Washington Post reports:

Pennsylvania’s Republican legislative leaders asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to stop a decision by the state’s high court to count mail-in ballots received up to three days after Election Day.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in Democrats’ favor on a number of mail-voting rules: permitting voters to turn in ballots via drop box in addition to using the U.S. Postal Service; allowing ballots to be returned up to three days after Election Day; and blocking a Republican effort to allow partisan poll watchers to be stationed in counties where they do not live.

Republicans asked the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in only on the ruling pushing back the deadline for mail ballots to arrive.
