The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled Wednesday that Pennsylvania may enforce state law requiring envelopes for mail-in ballots to be dated and include the voter's signature.
In Pennsylvania State Conference of the NAACP v. Chapman, the plaintiff sued the then-acting secretary of the commonwealth in 2022 regarding Pennsylvania’s decision to void mail-in ballots that are either missing a date on the outer return envelopes or have an incorrect date.
Pennsylvania counties were ordered by a lower court following a Republican lawsuit in 2022 to reject undated or incorrectly dated mail-in ballots. The issue was then appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
The NAACP argued that the mail-in ballots are valid – regardless of the incorrect or missing date – and should be counted.
In the November 2022 election, 10,000 mail-in ballots weren't accepted because they had incorrect or missing dates.

They won't.
In DCommunist strongholds, they'll just ignore the court order.
