A Pennsylvania judge ruled on Thursday that voters who took advantage of an extended deadline to provide missing proof of identification will not have their ballots counted because the government official who gave the extension lacked the legal authority to do so.
“Commonwealth Court Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt ruled Thursday that Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar lacked the authority to extend the original Nov. 9 deadline by 3 days,” Bloomberg Law reported. “The ruling means the battleground state that’s already been declared for President-elect Joe Biden can’t count ballots from voters who submitted missing ID between Nov. 10 and Nov. 12. Ballots with ‘cured’ ID issues received before that aren’t being challenged.”
