The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Pennsylvania GOP have filed an appeal to challenge a ruling in Washington County regarding ballot-curing. The decision came after a judge ordered that mail-in ballots with errors or deficiencies could be corrected by voters up until November 12th, three days after the election.
The appeal argues that extending the deadline for curing ballots goes against the state’s election laws and creates confusion and uncertainty in the voting process. The RNC and GOP claim that the ruling could potentially allow for manipulation of the election results and undermine the integrity of the electoral system.
The appeal comes amidst a contentious election season where mail-in voting has become a highly debated issue. President Donald Trump and other Republicans have raised concerns about the potential for voter fraud and irregularities in the mail-in voting process. The ruling in Washington County adds to the ongoing legal battles and challenges surrounding the election.
The RNC and Pennsylvania GOP are seeking to have the ruling overturned and for the original deadline for curing ballots to be upheld. They argue that allowing ballots to be corrected after election day goes against the state’s election laws and sets a dangerous precedent for future elections.
As the appeal makes its way through the legal system, the outcome could have significant implications for the election results in Pennsylvania. With the state being a key battleground in the presidential race, any changes to the ballot-curing process could impact the final outcome of the election. The RNC and GOP are determined to fight for what they believe is a fair and transparent electoral process.
