Appeal Filed To State Supreme Court Over Ballot Curing

October 2, 2024 5:09 am

The Republican National Committee and the Pennsylvania GOP have turned to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in the ballot curing legal battle here in Washington County.  They have filed and appeal asking the high court to review the Commonwealth Court ruling that upheld Common Pleas Court Judge Brandon Neuman’s order that the county elections board notify voters who made fatal mistakes on their mail-in ballots and allowing them to cast a provisional ballot instead.  Washington County Commissioners Chairman Nick Sherman says they are taking a wait and see approach over whether the high court will take the case.   The elections board is to hold a special meeting this morning at 10 a.m. to discuss how to handle absentee and mail-in ballots for the November 5 election.  It will be held in the meeting room of the Crossroads Center.  WJPA News will be there.
