A man who lost a 2021 Pennsylvania election made a federal case out of it and Tuesday the U.S. Supreme Court overruled a state appellate court to side with him. #SCOTUS #Pennsylvania #Election 
David Ritter lost a 2021 election to become a Pennsylvania judge by five votes after 257 absentee ballots without dates were counted….
…. Since the Keystone State’s election law requires a date be entered on absentee ballots, Ritter argued in a lawsuit filed in state court those undated ballots should not have been counted.
In Philadelphia, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided the case in favor of the state, citing a provision of the 1964 Voting Rights Act as the basis for its decision.
