Moore v. Harper Raises Concerns Over Voting Rights in Pennsylvania Courts, Alito's Statement May Disenfranchise Thousands

The ongoing implications of the Supreme Court's decision in Moore v. Harper are raising concerns about voter rights protections in Pennsylvania. Legal experts, including Rick Hasen, have highlighted how the ruling may be influencing state courts to adopt a more cautious stance on voting-related cases. Specifically, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's handling of mail-in and provisional ballot issues is being scrutinized, with fears that the decision may disenfranchise thousands of voters. The discussion emphasizes the tension between state-level judicial decisions and the precedent set by the Supreme Court, particularly in light of statements made by Justice Samuel Alito in the RNC v. Genser case, which may be affecting the courts' approach to incomplete or incorrectly dated mail-in ballots.
