**Victory for Election Integrity: Pennsylvania Supreme Court Upholds Laws Against Illegal Ballots**

In a resounding win for election integrity, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has issued a decisive ruling that puts an end to the counting of illegal ballots.

On November 18, 2024, the court mandated that mail-in ballots with incorrect or omitted dates be excluded from the official tally, reinforcing earlier legal standards meant to ensure valid and lawful voting practices.


The controversy arose after several counties, including those in Philadelphia and Bucks, openly admitted to counting ballots that did not meet the state's stringent requirements.

Republican candidate Dave McCormick, who initially took a lead of approximately 26,000 votes over Democratic incumbent Bob Casey, saw that margin threatened by the inclusion of these disqualified ballots.

The ruling comes on the heels of a lawsuit brought forth by the Republican National Committee (RNC) against those counties that persisted in their illegal bidding to influence the Senate race.

Michael Whatley, RNC Chairman, expressed strong support for the Supreme Court's decision, stating, “No more excuses. Election officials in Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and other counties have absolutely no choice but to reject illegal ballots.”

The court’s prior ruling on November 1 had already established that mail-in and absentee ballots lacking proper signatures and dates should not be counted. Yet, the Democrats’ blatant disregard for this directive stirred serious concerns about electoral integrity in a critical election year.

With this latest ruling, the Supreme Court has bolstered its authority and emphasized the necessity of compliance with Pennsylvania's Election Code.

Chris LaCivita from the Trump campaign also weighed in, warning that those involved in the unlawful counting of ballots could face severe legal consequences.

The implications of this ruling extend beyond the immediate electoral landscape, sending a clear message about the importance of upholding election laws and ensuring that every vote counts in accordance with established regulations.

As the McCormick campaign prepares for the final confirmation of its victory, this ruling stands as a testament to the ongoing fight for election integrity and accountability in Pennsylvania.
