Pennsylvania State Conference of the NAACP v. Northampton County Board of Elections
Filing Date:
November 4, 2022
Status:
pending
State:
Pennsylvania
Topics:
Civil Rights Act, Mail-In Voting
Most Recent Court:
U.S District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (No. 1:22-cv-00339)
Issue(s):
On November 1st the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the county boards of elections to not count undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots. The plaintiffs ask that the defendants be prevented from rejecting these ballots. They argue that the date on which a voter signed their return envelope is immaterial because a ballot's timeliness under Pennsylvania law is determined by when it was received by the county board of elections. Thus, they argue the rejection of the ballots on these grounds violates the Materiality Provision of the Civil Rights Act.
