U.S. Appeals Court Rules Pennsylvania Can Deny Undated Mail-In Ballots – By James Meyers (OAN) / March 29, 2024
A federal appeals court in Pennsylvania ruled that mail-in ballots must have handwritten dates on the outside envelopes.

The ruling comes after a lower court judge ruled in November of last year that even without proper dates on the mail-in-ballots they should still be counted as legal votes if they are received in time. U.S. District Judge Susan Paradise Baxter said the envelope date is unrelated in helping election officials decide whether or not a ballot was received in time or if a voter is qualified.
