State Appeals Court Issues Ruling On Mail-In Ballots

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A divided Pennsylvania appeals court says the envelopes voters use to send in mail ballots don’t need to have been accurately hand-dated. The Commonwealth Court’s 3-2 decision Wednesday comes after the state Supreme Court sidestepped the issue.  The latest decision upholds a Philadelphia judge’s ruling that 69 mail ballots should be counted in a pair of single-candidate state House of Representatives special elections held in September. Republican groups who lost the case say they plan an appeal in the coming days.  (Photo:  AP)
