RNC asks Supreme Court to stop Pennsylvania from counting some provisional ballots

Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The Republican National Committee asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to intervene in a case centered on Pennsylvania election officials counting provisional ballots, urging the high court to prevent them from doing so.

Last week, a divided Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued a 4-3 ruling against the Republican effort to prevent provisional ballots in the battleground state from being counted when their original mail-in ballots were disqualified for lacking a signature, date or secrecy envelope.
