\n

A Pennsylvania judge<\/a> on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee that had sought to prevent counties from helping voters ensure their ballots count by fixing minor, technical deficiencies on mail-in ballot envelopes.<\/p>\n

The judge said county courts, not a statewide court, have jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, filed in the statewide Commonwealth Court, had argued that state law prevents what is known as “ballot curing” and, as a result, must be barred by the court.<\/p>\n

But Commonwealth Court Judge Ellen Ceisler agreed with lawyers for the state’s Democratic administration and ruled that county courts have jurisdiction in the matter, not a state court, because counties have the authority under state law to make rules, regulations and instructions necessary to run an election.<\/p>\n

Ballot curing has been practiced primarily by Democratic-leaning counties in Pennsylvania. It includes notifying voters that they forgot to do things like date or sign their ballot envelope and gives them the opportunity to come into a county office and fix it before polls close.<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s lawyers also argued that no state law bars ballot curing. Lawyers for Democratic Party groups that intervened in the case called it a “win for voters.”<\/p>\n

The lawsuit is one of many filed by Republicans over the past three years in an effort to stop mail-in voting in Pennsylvania or, at least, to throw out mail-in ballots.<\/p>\n

Mail-in voting tilts heavily toward Democrats in the presidential battleground state. That reflects Republican distaste for it sowed by former President Donald Trump\u2019s baseless claims that mail-in voting was a vehicle for Democrats to steal the election.<\/p>\n

Republicans filed this latest lawsuit in September, two months before Pennsylvanians elected Democrats<\/a> to the governor’s office and the U.S. Senate.<\/p>\n

Republicans made similar arguments in lawsuits filed in 2020, before and after the presidential election.<\/p>\n

In one of those cases, Trump’s campaign sued counties<\/a> \u2014 all Democratic-leaning counties \u2014 over their practice of ballot curing. The federal judge, a Trump appointee, rejected their claims and told Trump’s lawyers that they should be suing counties that didn’t help voters cure ballots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
