Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court rules unanimously on a key concern surrounding an avalanche of mailed ballots, prohibiting counties from rejecting them if the voter’s signature on it does not resemble the signature on the voter’s registration form.

In her court filing, Boockvar had said that any such rejections pose “a grave risk of disenfranchisement on an arbitrary and wholly subjective basis,” and without any opportunity for a voter to verify their signature before their ballot is disqualified.

In a statement, Pennsylvania’s attorney general, Democrat Josh Shapiro, called the decision a “win for voters.” “Pennsylvania’s voter identification system is safe and secure,” he said. “We are protecting every eligible vote and ensuring each is counted.”

There goes Republicans chances in PA. You hate to see it. 🤣

Really.... No one has an issue with this? What is the fraud detection technique employed otherwise? No from Pennsylvania, so genuinely curious

Wow, no chance for fraud there...

Perfect. Makes voter fraud soooo much more seemless

while it sounds like a good practice esp in light of voter authentication, it isn't in the law, and the court can't make up that it is. Where was this principle regarding the 3 day extension?

My signature never matches exactly.

Suck in Donald

realDonaldTrump You mad?

good. judges should not be legislating from the bench, anyway. there was no provision for this in the first place.

POLITICO Playbook: Lowering the barThe final tilt between Joe Biden and President Donald Trump was refreshingly standard. But the bar was very low. The latest in Playbook 👇 Hot take: Trump's approach to the debates was IDENITCAL to how he played the RNC. He used the first night to see just how much crazy America would tolerate, and on the second night downshifted to just below our threshold, and looked 'more presidential' by comparison.
