However, yesterday (Monday, November 9, 2020) Eric Schmitt, Missouri Attorney General along with Nine State Attorneys General File Amicus Brief in Pennsylvania Supreme Court Voting Case

Tomorrow will be one week since Justice Alito’s ruling. Today, a Pennsylvania Judge ordered the state not to count some mail-in ballots that were missing proof of identification and cured during an extended deadline:

 

“These ballots had been segregated pending the judge’s decision and have not yet been counted, so their disqualification will not affect the current vote count in Pennsylvania.”

HOWEVER

“Ms. Boockvar argued to the court that the guidance came from a provision in the commonwealth’s election code that allows voters to prove their identities “within six calendar days following the election.” Because the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended the ballot deadline to Nov. 6, then the deadline for voters to confirm their ID would also be extended.

But the Trump campaign disagreed. “If the deadline is calculated as the statute is written, then as it pertains to the November 3, 2020 General Election, this deadline for voters to resolve proof of identification issues is Monday, November 9, 2020, not November 12, 2020,” the campaign wrote in a filing. They also said Ms. Boockvar lacked the authority to give such guidance.

Judge Leavitt sided with the Trump campaign on that argument. In a footnote, she said Ms. Boockvar’s position would have been achievable (IF) there was an amendment to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s order extending the ballot deadline.“

There are numerous reports regarding the mixing of ballots and the envelopes that contained time stamps & signatures being (conveniently?) destroyed.

“ Pennsylvania.

State statute forbids destruction of ballot envelopes prior to two years. That illegal act throws into question auditing; thus, it could be argued, those votes cannot be certified.

(There are 100K suspect mail-in ballot dates, per the state's official database.)”

Tens of Thousands of Pennsylvania Ballots Returned Earlier Than Sent Date: Researcher

“More than 20,000 absentee ballots in Pennsylvania have impossible return dates and another more than 80,000 have return dates that raise questions, according to a researcher’s analysis of the state’s voter database.

Over 51,000 ballots were marked as returned just a day after they were sent out—an extraordinary speed, given U.S. Postal Service (USPS) delivery times, while nearly 35,000 were returned on the same day they were mailed out. Another more than 23,000 have a return date earlier than the sent date. More than 9,000 have no sent date
