The Republican National Committee (RNC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and the Pennsylvania GOP have filed a last-minute lawsuit claiming that the state is illegally skirting state law and a Supreme Court ruling by saying it will count undated absentee ballots just weeks before a hotly contested general election between Dr. Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman on November 8.
According to the Republican groups, Leigh Chapman, the Democratic Acting Secretary of State for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, disobeyed a U.S. Supreme Court judgment and the Republican-majority Pennsylvania General Assembly by directing county boards of elections to count unsigned mail-in ballots.
The GOP complaint was filed with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on October 16, just three weeks before the general election, stating that “the time for the Court to act is now.”
“As the Pennsylvania legislature and the United States Supreme Court have stated, undated mail-in ballots should not be tallied.”
