In reply to the discussion: Pennsylvania Supreme Court rules mail ballots with incorrect dates won't be counted [View all]BumRushDaShow
(137,835 posts)4. It seems most of the issues have been with envelopes with no date added at all
as well as no signature.
I expect if a date is there and is later than the postmark, then that could be one issue, and if someone dates the envelope with an early date that ends up being before the ballots were even mailed out (and the County knows when they sent out their mail ballots), then that might also be an issue.

I'm not sure why the date is so important on the ballot as long as it gets in on time.

As with any notarized document or contract, the date is the actual date you sign a document.

I remember other Republicon tricks in Florida 2000 with butterfly ballots. Another design for republicon filth to cheat.
