Pennsylvania to count undated ballots, election official says, despite US Supreme Court ruling
Fox News
Pennsylvania election officials have been instructed to count ballots arriving in undated envelopes despite a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court.
However, acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman announced that Pennsylvania election officials should continue counting ballots that arrive with improperly filled-out envelopes, in accordance with the Commonwealth Court's previous ruling on the matter.

"Every county is expected to include undated ballots in their official returns for the Nov. 8 election, consistent with the Department of State's guidance," Chapman wrote. "That guidance followed the most recent ruling of the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court holding that both Pennsylvania and federal law prohibit excluding legal votes because the voter omitted an irrelevant date on the ballot return envelope."
