US Supreme Court Unanimously Rejects RNC Appeal, Allows Pennsylvania Voters to Cast Provisional Ballots

The US Supreme Court has unanimously rejected a Republican National Committee (RNC) challenge, allowing Pennsylvania voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected due to technical errors to cast provisional ballots on Election Day. Justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch issued a statement explaining why the court did not intervene. This decision enables voters who submitted defective mail-in ballots to ensure their votes are counted by submitting provisional ballots in person. The ruling, issued just days before the election, is significant in the battleground state of Pennsylvania and could impact thousands of votes.
