In a huge blow to the GOP, the US Supreme Court on Friday rejected an emergency application seeking to pause Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruling on provisional ballots.
The Republican National Committee and Pennsylvanian GOP sough relief from the high court after state supreme court ruled 4-3 that provisional ballots that were incorrectly filled out or missing the 'secrecy' envelope.
The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a state court ruling that allowed for the counting of certain provisional ballots, in a major setback for the state GOP and Republican National Committee just four days before the election.
The Republican National Committee and the state GOP filed an emergency appeal to the nation's top court last week seeking to temporarily halt a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that ordered the state to count voters whose provisional ballots had been incorrectly filled out or were missing an inner "Secrecy" envelope.
"Once ballots are separated from their outer envelopes, there is no way to retroactively figure out which ballots were illegally cast. In other words, once the egg is scrambled, it cannot be unscrambled."
The RNC sued Pennsylvania to block mail-in ballot curing and the state's high court said the committee filed the lawsuit too close to the election.
Last month the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that undated ballots or improperly dated ballots won't be counted.
