RNC asks Supreme Court to take up Pennsylvania mail ballot fight
The RNC seeks to reverse a ruling that protects ballots missing or with incorrect dates, arguing the requirement is essential for election integrity, per Chair Joe Gruters.
- On Wednesday, the RNC asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review Pennsylvania's mail-ballot dating rule, with Justice Samuel Alito extending the deadline to Feb. 11.
- The petition targets an Aug. 26, 2025, 3rd U.S. Circuit decision in Eakin v. Adams County Board of Elections, which upheld limits on discarding undated ballots.
- Judge Emil Bove dissented, describing the dating step as minimal 'less than five seconds'; he was part of the 3rd Circuit ruling.
- The Republican National Committee urged the Supreme Court to overturn the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that rejected mail ballots with undated or misdated envelopes, involving groups affiliated with the Democratic Party and a Pennsylvania teachers union.
- The petition arrives as the justices prepare for the March 23 argument in Watson v. Republican National Committee, after the Jan. 21, 2025, U.S. Supreme Court denial in a similar case.
