Federal Court to PA: Count Mail Ballots With Envelope Error
In a significant win for voting rights, a federal court ruled that Pennsylvania must count mail ballots that have an incorrect or missing date on the outer envelope of the ballot.
Pennsylvania’s 2023 primary election is right around the corner, on May 16, and with the delivery of mail and absentee ballots, voting is already underway. So the time is right to hear from Marian Schneider, ACLU-PA’s senior policy counsel for voting rights, and Khalif Ali, formerly of Common Cause PA and now with the New Pennsylvania Project. Marian and Khalif talk about the state of democracy, what challenges we’re facing in protecting the vote, and what opportunities may arise with changes in power at the state capitol.
