The US Supreme Court ruled that 'little things matter' in counting mail-in ballots in a Pennsylvania case.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday vacated an appeals court decision that required Pennsylvania to count mail-in ballots even if there is no date on the envelope.
“The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit with instructions to dismiss the case as moot,” wrote Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson (pdf), siding with David Ritter, an unsuccessful Republican candidate for a judgeship.
They also threw out a U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling that allowed the counting of mail-in ballots in the race that Ritter had sought to remove because voters did not write the date on the ballots. Ritter lost his 2021 bid to serve on the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas after 257 mail-in ballots that didn’t have dates were counted....
Who cares?
Aside from the litigants, the Wisconsin Democrat-Electing Machine (WEC) should care, as they have dispensed with 'little things' regularly, to the great benefit of Democrats. WEC should care because Federal judges, even in Madistan, pay attention to SCOTUS rulings.
Grinding slowly, but grinding.
