Valin Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The Daily Wire Hank Berrien Mar 28, 2024 In a decision that may affect the swing state of Pennsylvania and possibly other swing states, the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals reversed on Wednesday the order of a federal district court and handed the Republican National Committee (RNC) a victory regarding signature verification for mail voting in Pennsylvania. The case centered around whether mail-in ballots that were mailed in time but either possessed an incorrect date or no date at all under the voter’s signature should be counted, NPR noted. Democrats argued that the Materiality Provision established in Section 10101(a)(2)(B) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, applies in this case and that the ballots could therefore be counted. The Materiality Provision prohibits denial of the right to vote because of an “error or omission” on paperwork “related to any application, registration, or other act requisite to voting,” if the mistake is “not material in determining whether [an] individual is qualified” to vote. The RNC countered that enforcement of the date requirement for a ballot “does not impinge on the right to vote” because the Materiality Provision “only prohibits immaterial requirements affecting the qualification and registration of a voter,” not additional requirements for casting a ballot. The 3rd Circuit decision, in which two of the three judges concurred (all three appointed by Democrats), explained: (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 New Mexico Accused of Hiding More Election Records Fred Lucas March 27, 2024 New Mexico’s top election official won’t disclose key information about a new electronic signature-verification system for putting candidates on the ballot, a lawsuit alleges just months after she settled a court case over lack of transparency. Last August, New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver settled the public records dispute with a think tank over voting information for $22,000, after initially blocking access to documents. Last week, the same organization—the Southwestern Public Policy Institute—sued again in New Mexico’s 13th Judicial District in Sandoval County over records regarding the state’s signature-verification portal. The think tank supports the Online Candidate Nominating Petition Signature Portal, which allows voters to use an electronic signature to help candidates qualify for the ballot. But more transparency is required from Oliver as New Mexico’s top election official, it says. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Federal Court Drops Huge Decision in Blue State – It Just Had an Instant 2024 Impact By Mick Farthing|March 28, 2024 In the aftermath of the 2020 Election, states scrambled to secure their elections. Democrats maintain that nothing went wrong that year. But state governments seem to disagree, making changes to prevent problems with voting. These changes ensure that an election like 2020 might never happen again. Certain rules have been put into place to prevent the chaos and uncertainty that followed the election. But Democrats seem unhappy about the changes made in some states. One mostly blue state enforced a rule that requires basic security measures for ballots. Liberals took the issue all the way to federal courts. And now, a judge just decided on this critical issue. From Just the News: 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… “Left-wing activists have spent an untold fortune trying to stop Pennsylvania from enforcing its mail ballot safeguards. Today, a federal appellate court definitively rejected their argument.” The Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a rule requiring envelopes for mail-in ballots to include the voter’s signature and matching date. The date has to match that of the included ballot. https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/third-circuit-court-rules-pennsylvania-must-only-count-mail-ballots-dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
