Umm... what's an NGO...?

In a single-judge ruling Thursday, the Commonwealth Court tossed out a lawsuit led by the RNC & PA GOP seeking to block any counties from implementing “notice & cure” procedures — where election workers who see that a returned mail-in ballot is missing something crucial to being counted, like a signature, date, or secrecy envelope, can contact the voter to have them come in to fix the deficiency or cast a provisional ballot to replace the uncountable one.

Judge Ellen Ceisler ruled that her court lacked jurisdiction over the dispute, since the Commonwealth Court hears cases and appeals involving state government, and state election officials were only giving guidance to county boards of elections, which are themselves local and not branches of the state. So if the Republicans (or anyone else) wanted to challenge the counties that did notice & cure, they’d have to file lawsuits in those counties’ courts.

It’s kind of a technicality that the case was dismissed on, but Judge Ceisler had earlier refused an injunction the Republicans sought before the 2022 election over the same issue, reasoning that some voters had fixed their busted ballots in years past and shouldn’t be blindsided now. The state Supreme Court, short by a Justice after last year’s death of Max Baer, then deadlocked 3-3 over the injunction, which lets the lower court ruling stand.

The practice could still be challenged on a county-by-county basis, or Republicans could appeal again to the Supreme Court of PA and hope for a different break. But some of the Trump lawsuits after 2020 had tried to make the same arguments about unfairness to voters whose counties didn’t allow “curing” and the courts said to sue those counties, not throw out the cured ballots in other counties. And those courts didn’t really take up arguments over whether looking at a returned ballot envelope to see that it was missing a date or signature counted as “pre-canvassing,” which isn’t allowed in PA until the morning of the election.

As an IT professional, that’s all sorts of ethics code violations….you don’t just open up someone’s laptop and you don’t go looking in files, especially if they don’t pertain to the scope of work that was asked to be done.

And if Hunter left it at this repair shop, wouldn’t there be attempts to contact him to have him get it back?

Besides, there’s so many holes in that story that it’s borderline laughable.

Well then blame the plaintiff’s. Why didn’t they seek charges for that? Stop grandstanding about shit you clearly don’t understand

Have you ever wondered what 'crazy' looks like? This is it.

That doesn't mean it didn't happen. Stop simping for traitors.

Insurrection assclown doesn’t have anyone’s interests in mind except for his own. It’s amazing how he continues to hold that seat despite how demonstrably terrible he is.

That wasn’t one of the charges she was convicted of.

Nobody is doing 25 years for weed unless they were sentenced under the Biden crime bill of 1994

I used to call him a traitor-in-training.

I have dropped the training wheels

She tried to sell the Speaker's laptop to Russian spies.

It's absolutely a slap on the wrist.

Is it me or is that article really poorly written?

I live in Brian Fitzpatrick’s district and he does the same thing with those fake “town halls.” And Fitz never responds to letters, emails or calls. It is infuriating. But as much as I dislike Fitz, I know that Scott Perry is at least 100x worse.

I moved back to PA from Illinois. Had to have my car isdued a new title issued issued in pa. Took over 2 months at Penn dot. I get the feeling they ate a wee understaffed these days.

When?

Idk then. You'll have to call. I bought a new car recently from a dealer and the title took about 3 weeks to show up from PennDOT.

Calling is the best idea.

I guess it didn’t match the insurance card. That’s what I was told he was going. Or the plate was registered to the wrong vin.

Needless to say my grandmother was disgusted at the whole situation. Unsure of how expensive the ticket was as well.

The dealership gave her the wrong vin?

You can, just don’t use your real name.
