US Supreme Court rejects Republican election-rule challenge in Pennsylvania
- The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday declined to hear the Republican National Committee’s challenge to Pennsylvania’s provisional ballot counting before the November 2024 election.
- This followed Pennsylvania’s highest court 4-3 ruling last October that required counting provisional ballots when mail-in ballots were invalid, despite Republicans' argument it violated state law and legislative authority.
- The RNC argued the court usurped the General Assembly’s power over election rules, citing the 2022 Moore v. Harper decision, but the Supreme Court rejected the emergency bid to block ballot tallying.
- Pennsylvania’s decision allowed voters with rejected mail ballots to cast provisional ballots, which the court said prevents double voting and preserves voter rights, while Trump narrowly won Pennsylvania in the 2024 general election.
- The Supreme Court’s refusal to intervene maintains current ballot counting practices and reflects the ongoing legal complexity of state courts’ roles in election rules for key states like Pennsylvania.
