Undated or incorrectly dated ballots cannot and should not be counted. That’s the ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court late yesterday afternoon.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ordered that election officials shouldn’t count any mail-in or absentee ballots that are received with an undated or incorrectly dated outer envelope during the upcoming election.

The order was made Tuesday and comes amid a disagreement among the judges just before the Nov. 8 election in a lawsuit filed by state and national Republicans.

Will this make an impact on the remaining ballots that haven’t been sent in? Who knows given there are reports of nearly one million ballots received out of the 1.4 million that were mailed out. 

Here’s the thing, we’ve had Democrats INSIST since 2020 and even 2016 that no one is rigging the elections. Anyone who questions the processes and the integrity of the election systems has been labeled an “election denier.” Here’s the interesting thing about that. Pennsylvania’s OWN election law is very specific regarding signatures and dating of the ballots. 

The second, larger envelope is the mailing and declaration envelope. You must use it, even if you are dropping your ballot off at a drop box. Place your secrecy envelope (with your ballot inside) into the mailing and declaration envelope. You must seal it and sign and date the declaration before you can return your ballot.

So this ruling will cause problems for the Pennsylvania Secretary of State. Why? Because they arbitrarily decided to rewrite the rules and let undated ballots be counted no matter what. 

Every county is expected to include undated ballots in their official returns for the Nov election, consistent with guidance & @CommCtofPA decision. Today’s order from SCOTUS vacating Third Circuit’s judgment on mootness grounds does not affect the prior decision of @CommCtofPA. pic.twitter.com/eDiYpvLZYV

Now the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has said …NOPE. All undated ballots cannot and shall not be counted. Therefore, out of the nearly one million ballots received currently, how many of those were incorrectly undated, not dated at all, or even not signed? Oh wait, by asking those questions, does that mean I’M an election denier??

Furthermore, Leah Chapman, the current PA Secretary of State is here to tell us that counting the votes is gonna take awhile. A long while. 

How much do you want to bet she now views the members of the PA Supreme Court as election deniers? 

This decision regarding undated ballots comes just as we have our political betters issuing some interesting warnings. Warnings similar to what Leah Chapman said in the video above. There may be glitches in the ballot counting this year folks. ‘Glitches.’

The Biden administration’s cyberdefense agency director is warning midterm election voters to expect “errors” and “glitches” that “happen in every election” — like a “pipe will burst” — but she says that is “normal” and “not nefarious” and the media should fall in line on that narrative.

“There are going to be errors, there are going to be glitches — it happens in every election,” according to Jen Easterly, director for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in the Department of Homeland Security, speaking at the Center for Strategic and International Studies symposium Tuesday.

“But that’s why there are multiple layers of security controls and resilience built into the system.”

 Now, I don’t know about you, but when we have federal officials telling us that there may be a few glitches in the system on election night, and the PA Sec of State is telling us ballots won’t be fully counted until some date in the future, my instinct tells me that we should be worried. When we are told well ahead of time that there’s going to be nothing to see here… there is something to see and we should be paying very close attention. Two cases in point are Katie Hobbs in AZ, and Jena Griswold in CO. 

If questioning any of that makes me an election denier, so be it. 

Oh hey! Twitter is even getting into the game!

Doesn’t this remind you of something? I’ll help you out. Remember when we talked about how our political betters on the left worked to “fortify the 2020 election?” 

Don’t worry, they are just fortifying the election.

There are subtle yet overt signs the Democrats are positioning themselves to attempt to do the same, even as significant Democrat campaigns across the U.S. is flailing. Even as Oz is now moving ahead of Fetterman after that disastrously sad showing at the debate last week. Not only that, but it is looking more and more like a red wave is coming our way. Yes, I know, don’t get cocky, but positive signs are there. 

As for Pennsylvania, the fact remains that the PA Supreme Court has ruled unequivocally that any undated or incorrectly dated ballots CANNOT be counted. Will the clerks and Sec of State abide by that ruling given how the tide is seemingly turning Mehmet Oz’s way? Now that’s the billion dollar Powerball question.
