RNC Files Emergency Order with Supreme Court to Block Provisional Ballots in Pennsylvania

Oct 28, 2024, 08:14 PM

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to overturn a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling. The ruling allows voters whose mail-in ballots are rejected due to errors to submit provisional ballots instead. The RNC's request aims to block the counting of these provisional ballots, potentially affecting thousands of votes in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. This legal move comes ahead of the November 5 presidential election and could have significant implications for the outcome. The RNC argues that the Pennsylvania court's decision could lead to widespread voter disenfranchisement and election inconsistencies. The RNC filed this emergency order on Monday, seeking immediate intervention from SCOTUS.
