A coalition of Republicans this week has brought a lawsuit against the state of Pennsylvania seeking to force the government there to follow state law and toss out mail-in ballots that lack a required date.
In a lawsuit filed late on Monday, the Republican National Committee, along with the National Republican Congressional Committee as well as the Pennsylvania state GOP, sued the state government for “planning to illegally accept undated mail-in ballots” in spite of the Supreme Court’s ruling.
“As the Pennsylvania legislature and U.S. Supreme Court have made clear, undated mail-in ballots should not be counted,” the plaintiffs said in a joint statement.
“Republicans are holding Pennsylvania Democrats accountable for their brazen defiance of the Supreme Court and the rules duly set by the legislature,” they claimed further. “Pennsylvania Democrats have a history of election integrity failures and Pennsylvanians deserve better: this lawsuit is the latest step in Republican efforts to promote free, fair, and transparent elections in the Keystone State.”
