The Legal Challenges Have Already Started
The anticipated wave of technical challenges in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania began late Tuesday with twin state and federal suits aiming to have thousands of votes disqualified across dozens of counties.
Brought by lawyers associated with the state GOP on behalf of Republican candidates—including Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA)—and activists, the suits challenge efforts to “cure” ballots which voters improperly filled out or failed to put in mandatory secrecy envelopes.
One, which will come before a federal judge in Philadelphia on Wednesday morning, deals with a relatively small number of ballots in adjoining Montgomery County, a large and Democratic-leaning suburb.
