A Chester County judge rejected a legal motion from local Republicans that could have stopped some ballots from counting in Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary election.
“The injunction proposed in this matter would disenfranchise and, therefore, harm voters who are unable to submit their ballots on their own,” the ruling said.
The law limits ballot returns on behalf of disabled voters to one per person unless all the voters are in the same household. The law, the GOP committee argued, clearly explains that long-term care facilities should not be considered a single household, meaning residents cannot use the same staff member or volunteer to return their ballots.
“The injunction proposed in this matter would disenfranchise and, therefore, harm voters who are unable to submit their ballots on their own and have already provided their mail-in ballot to a designated agent,” Verwey said in his ruling that denied the preliminary injunction while the broader lawsuit progresses.
