The Supreme Court says Pennsylvania voters who sent defective mail-in ballots will be allowed to cast a provisional in-person ballot. Pennsylvania law says mail-in ballots that lack secondary “secrecy envelopes” are void, which means the voter would have to cast a provisional ballot in-person on Election Day. Republicans filed a case with the Supreme Court, arguing any ballots that don’t meet their standards, including no secrecy sleeve, incorrect dates or no signature, should be tossed and the voters should not get a do-over. On Friday the Supreme Court rejected the request. It’s unclear how many voters will be affected by the ruling.
