Mail-in ballots without dates, or with incorrect dates, should not be counted, federal appeals court rules. View Epoch Times Post here. A state law in Pennsylvania that requires mail-in ballots to be dated is legal, a federal appeals court has ruled. The law, which says that voters must fill out, date, and sign envelopes containing the ballots, is not prevented by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a majority said in the March 27 ruling. That act bans denying “the right of any individual to vote in any election because of an error or omission on any record or paper relating to any application, registration or other act requisite to voting.” But that provision “only applies when the state is determining who may vote,” U.S. Circuit Judge Thomas Ambro, appointed by former President Bill Clinton, wrote for the majority of a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit panel. “In other words, its role stops at the door of the voting place. The provision does not apply to rules, like the date requirement, that govern how a qualified voter must cast his ballot for it to be counted.” The same court ahead of the 2022 election ruled that state officials must count undated ballots, but the U.S. Supreme Court vacated that order. After the state’s acting secretary of state said counties should still count undated ballots, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that counties could not count mail-in ballots with missing or incorrect dates. About 7,900 ballots were not counted in the 2020 election because they were missing a signature or date or had an inaccurate date, according to state officials. U.S. District Judge Susan Paradise Baxter later ruled that the Pennsylvania law violated the Civil Rights Act provision, meaning Pennsylvania officials had to count mail-in ballots even if they lacked dates or contained inaccurate dates. RELATED STORIES RNC Files Election Integrity Lawsuit Targeting Michigan’s Handling of Absentee Ballots 3/28/2024 Behind Massive Mail-in Ballot Push Is a Little-Noticed Executive Order 3/28/2024 “Federal law prohibits a state from erecting immaterial roadblocks, such as this, to voting,” Judge Baxter, appointed by former President Donald Trump, wrote at the time, referring to the Pennsylvania law. According to the law, a voter casting a ballot by mail must mark the ballot and then place it inside a provided envelope. That envelope must then be placed into a second envelope, which contains the areas for the date and signature. “The elector shall then fill out, date and sign the declaration printed on such envelope,” the law states. “This is a crucial victory for election integrity and voter confidence in the Keystone State and nationwide. Pennsylvanians deserve to feel confident in the security of their mail ballots, and this Third Circuit ruling roundly rejects unlawful left-wing attempts to count undated or incorrectly dated mail ballot,” Michael Whatley, the RNC’s chairman, said in a statement after the new ruling was handed down. Groups that sued over the law expressed disappointment. “If this ruling stands, thousands of Pennsylvania voters could lose their vote over a meaningless paperwork error. The ballots in question in this case come from voters who are eligible and who met the submission deadline,“ Mike Lee, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, said in a statement. ”In passing the Civil Rights Act, Congress put a guardrail in place to be sure that states don’t erect unnecessary barriers that disenfranchise voters. It’s unfortunate that the court failed to recognize that principle. Voters lose as a result of this ruling.” The ruling can be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the groups have not yet indicated whether they'll appeal. Justice Samuel Alito has said that the Pennsylvania law did not appear to violate the Civil Rights Act provision because it did not deny people the right to vote. “When a mail-in ballot is not counted because it was not filled out correctly, the voter is not denied ’the right to vote,'” he said previously. “Rather, that individual’s vote is not counted because he or she did not follow the rules for casting a ballot.” Several other justices supported his view, offered in a dissent when the rest of the court initially said Pennsylvania counties could keep counting undated ballots. Judge Ambro offered a similar rationale, writing that the provision “targets laws that restrict who may vote” and “does not preempt state requirements on how qualified voters may cast a valid ballot, regardless what (if any) purpose those rules serve.” He was joined by U.S. Circuit Judge Cindy Chung, who was appointed by President Joe Biden. U.S. Circuit Judge Patty Shwartz, an appointee of President Barack Obama and the third member of the panel that ruled, said in a dissent that the provision “means that state actors cannot deprive a voter of the right to vote due to an error or omission he makes on papers that he must complete to have his ballot counted, including on papers distinct from application or registration forms, if the mistake is not relevant to the State’s ability to ascertain whether he is qualified under state law to vote in the election.”

We are making progress! Wisconsin Becomes 28th State to Ban ZuckerBucks Before 2024 Election https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/wisconsin-voters-approve-measures-that-will-change-the-way-elections-are-run-in-the-battleground-state/ar-BB1kYynZ?ocid=msedgntp&pc=HCTS&cvid=12dcd44974df42dcba62c9c39491c035&ei=10 Wisconsin voters on Tuesday night approved two Republican-backed measures that will change the way elections are run in the pivotal battleground state. A majority of Wisconsin voters supported a state constitutional amendment to prevent local governments from using private donations to fund the administrative side of elections. They also voted in favor of a rule that prohibits anyone other than election officials from performing election-related duties. Republicans have championed the amendments as methods of decreasing outside influence on the state’s elections. Meanwhile, Democrats have opposed them, arguing they lead to unnecessary ambiguity for election officials, especially as they have struggled with resources in recent years. The measures are aimed at addressing concerns conservatives had during the 2020 election over millions of dollars in grants being donated to Wisconsin’s largest cities by a voting rights group. That year, the Center for Tech and Civic Life donated more than $8 million to five major Wisconsin hubs as part of a national initiative to help local governments manage the costs associated with elections during the COVID-19 pandemic. Election officials who received the money said it helped them meet increased demand for absentee ballots and vote-by-mail initiatives. But Republican groups argued the money was largely spent in Democratic strongholds and tilted the results of the race.

https://grncalert.com/pass-constitutional-carry-2023-h189/ Pass NC Freedom to Carry (Constitutional Carry) H189 Show up in Raleigh on April 24th or Sign the Petition. It's Our Inalienable Right! Read the details here. Sign this online petition to the NC Legislature to demand that they pass Constitutional Carry for North Carolina Now: I, the signatory of this petition, do hereby affirm that: Whereas, the Supreme Court of the United States has three times ruled that the Second Amendment reinforces a fundamental, natural right of individuals to keep and bear arms; Whereas, no other right enumerated in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights requires governmental permission merely to exercise a fundamental natural right; Whereas, twenty-eight (28) states have now passed some form of permitless or “constitutional” concealed carry of handguns, leaving North Carolina in a disadvantaged minority; Whereas, none of the states which have adopted permitless or constitutional carry have experienced the problems predicted by naysayers; Whereas, the North Carolina General Assembly now has supermajorities in both chambers, rendering them capable of overriding a probable veto by Governor Roy Cooper; and Whereas, Second Amendment voters were in large part responsible for wins in the 2022 elections which gave Republicans the supermajorities needed to override a veto by Governor Roy Cooper; I do hereby call upon Republican leaders in the North Carolina Senate and North Carolina House to give prompt consideration via a committee hearing to House Bill 189, “NC Constitutional Carry Act.” Additionally, I call upon all members of the NC General Assembly to support HB 189 by all means, procedural and substantive.

Show up on April 24th or Sign the Petition Gun Rights Supporters: Last year, as House Bill 189 for permit-less concealed carry stalled, Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger said: “We've done away with the pistol purchase permit, which was the No. 1 goal of many of the gun rights groups for a long period of time. I just don't know if there's a need for us to delve into additional issues dealing with guns and people's 2nd Amendment rights.” While partially true – and we thank Republicans for passing the pistol purchase permit repeal – Phil Berger is effectively saying that he believes HE should decide which of your rights you “need.” Meanwhile, Florida and Nebraska, Louisiana, and South Carolina passed constitutional carry, bringing the number of states with permit-less carry to 29. Yes, North Carolina now lies within the minority of states which continue to deny this basic civil right to their citizens. Thanks to Berger and other “you-have-enough-rights” naysayers at the General Assembly, HB 189 continues to languish in the House Rules Committee while North Carolina falls behind other freedom-loving red states. Yes, North Carolina Republicans are falling behind even their own party in restoring your Second Amendment freedoms. GRNC holds Republicans’ feet to the fire (again) As always, Grass Roots North Carolina will follow through on its promises by delivering a petition with thousands of signatures calling for constitutional carry to Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger on April 24, on the opening day of the second year of the two-year legislative session. And unlike certain other phony gun groups which exist solely to take your money, when GRNC delivers a message to the NC General Assembly, legislators listen. If HB 189 doesn’t pass in this session, the bill will be dead. What we need YOU to do RIGHT NOW  ATTEND the April 24 petition presentation: Please RSVP to DirectorOfDevelopment@GRNC.org to confirm you attend. Take a day from work if you need to. Showing Berger we are serious is a lot easier if a few dozen constitutional carry advocates show up at his office.  Constitutional carry Petition presentation details: WHAT: A limited gathering to present a hand truck with thousands of petitions to Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger, thereby delivering a clear message that Republicans should “remember who ‘brung ‘em to the dance.” We will also do a limited distribution of talking points to relevant Republicans. WHEN: April 24, 10:00 AM EDT WHERE: NC General Assembly Printed Bills office, 16 West Jones Street, Raleigh, NC 27601. SEE MAP AT BOTTOM BELOW. WHY: To tell legislators loud and clear that you will not let them dictate your civil rights  ASK OTHERS TO SIGN the petition: Even if you have signed (and we need you to sign if you haven’t), please pass the link along to like-minded friends and relatives, asking them to sign the petition. TIME IS GROWING SHORT. You can find the constitutional carry petition by going to: grncalert.com/pass-constitutional-carry-2023-h189/ You will note that I’m not asking for money. (At least not right now.) What GRNC needs – what YOU need – is to SHOW UP at the NC General Assembly at 16 West Jones St., Raleigh, NC 27601 on April 24 at 10:00 AM. Please note that no legislative experience is required. We will have volunteers to guide you, including distributing literature to legislators. With your help, GRNC will continue its nearly three decades of victory. Armatissimi e liberissimi, F.

A new battle front: States Rush to Combat AI Threat to Elections Another new battle front: Remember Zuck Bucks? Well, NC passed a ban in S747 passed a ban on private money infiltrating ourBOEs and Commissioners. Twenty two other states did too. Good, right? S747 (t) The State Board shall not accept private monetary donations or in-kind contributions, directly or indirectly, for conducting elections or employing individuals on a temporary basis." ... (18) County boards of elections shall not accept private monetary donations or in-kind contributions, directly or indirectly, for conducting elections or employing individuals on a temporary basis....(b) County boards of commissioners shall not accept private monetary donations or in-kind contributions, directly or indirectly, for conducting elections or employing individuals Page 2 Session Law 2023-140 Senate Bill 747 on a temporary basis. This subsection does not prohibit the in-kind donation or use of a voting site, if that voting site is used for the purpose of conducting elections." However, Evil doesn't quit. A new 501c3 Leftist partisan group called Cities Forward has set up a trial balloon in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to infiltrate - are you ready - Libraries! Yes. So all of those states like ours who have enacted those laws to ban outside influence money and are fronts for GOTV and ballot harvesting, have to go back to the drawing board and tweak our ban on private money and people. Reaffirm the commitment as permanent watchdogs.
