Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.
Filed under 2020 Election
A couple of updates on the legal front.
In a case involving the Pennsylvania deadline for verifying mail-in voters’ identification, a state court issued an order telling election boards to temporarily segregate mail-in ballots where proof of identification is received between Nov. 10-12, pending further orders from the court. (It’s unclear how many ballots we’re talking about here, and it may not matter unless the margin is extremely close.)
And in a separate case, Republicans withdrew their motion for a temporary restraining order involving ballots that were corrected or “cured” in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (there’s another pending lawsuit that addresses ballot curing, and the judge in this case seemed pretty skeptical of the claims).
CORRECTION (Nov. 5, 2020, 4:28 p.m.): A previous version of this post incorrectly said that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court sided with the Trump campaign in a case on poll observing. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has not yet ruled on this case.
