ACLU-PA Sues Butler County Over Ballot "Curing" Policy
ACLU-PA and Public Interest Law Center represent two voters who forgot the secrecy envelope in their mail ballot but then had their provisional ballots not counted when they tried to fix their mistake.
This report by the ACLU of Pennsylvania illustrates how the General Assembly passes duplicative offenses and harsher penalties in every legislative session. This bloating of the criminal code undermines a person's right to a fair trial and diminishes the power of judges in exchange for more power in the hands of prosecutors, who use the threat of many charges to strong arm people in plea deals.
