Remember during the 2020 elections, when several blue states (including the commonwealth of Pennsylvania) rewrote on the fly the laws about how, when, and where mail-in ballots (AKA vote by mail) would be counted? It led to many voters becoming jaded and distrustful of a system that had been considered one of the most honest and free to hold elections in the world.
Courts ended up striking down those revised laws, and now we have news of a massive win for election integrity on mail-in ballots by the state Supreme Court in one of those states–the Keystone state of Pennsylvania:
This is a MASSIVE win that will have major implications in the most important swing state in 2024.
The PA Supreme Court has a 5-2 liberal majority.
Yet they just ruled 4-3 that it’s illegal to count misdated mail in ballots, overturning decisions made by liberal lower courts. https://t.co/02PzMaWMRV pic.twitter.com/YHgGUpQvFH

An election security group, RITE, swiftly celebrated the ruling with a statement:
