A Pennsylvania judge has ruled that a Republican-controlled county violated state law by not informing voters of rejected mail-in ballots during the April primary election. The ruling determined that election workers in Washington County failed to notify voters when their mail-in ballots were rejected, denying them the opportunity to challenge the decision or cast provisional ballots. This decision upholds state laws requiring voters to return completed absentee ballots to their county board of elections for canvassing. The ruling was authored by Judge Renée Cohn Jubelirer.
