The Democratic National Committee asked the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday for a ruling by Election Day in a hotly contested fight over undated or misdated mail-in ballots.
The request comes after the Republican National Committee and the Republican Party of Pennsylvania appealed a lower court decision this week that struck down a state law requiring mail-in voters to fill out their ballots accurately in order to have them counted. A 3-2 decision among a panel of appellate judges found the requirement violates the free and equal elections clause of the Pennsylvania Constitution, and Republicans have since appealed to the state’s highest court.
