In two related cases, a Pennsylvania district court sided with voters and organizational plaintiffs who challenged the disqualification of undated and incorrectly dated mail-in ballots.

In June 6 opinions, U.S. District Judge Susan Paradise Baxter of the Western District of Pennsylvania ruled plaintiffs had sufficiently pleaded voting-related disputes and sufficiently stated plausible claims for relief, equal protection and/or that the application of the date instruction to reject ballots was an undue burden on voters, lacking a legitimate purpose.
