GOP files Supreme Court suit regarding late-arriving votes in PA

The Pennsylvania GOP has asked the US Supreme Court for an emergency order to ensure no late-arriving mail-in ballots are added to the total vote count, ABC reports.

Trump currently trails Biden in the state by nearly 14,000 votes.

With Trump trailing Biden in the Pennsylvania vote count, state Republicans are asking the US Supreme Court for an emergency order to ensure that no late-arriving mail ballots are added to the totals and that they are instead segregated.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar has told ABC that those late-arriving ballots are not being included in the tally anyways, but the GOP suit argues that Boockvar’s directive is non-binding that some counties have not indicated explicitly that they won’t count late-arriving ballots.

The case is not expected to impact Biden’s lead in the decisive state.
