Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that many voters who cast a mailed-in ballot improperly should be allowed to cast a ballot on Election Day that will actually be counted.

The Republican Party asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and effectively disenfranchise the thousands of voters who will be able to vote if the state court ’s Genser decision stands.

The independent state legislature doctrine (ISLD) would destabilize the United States and threaten its security.

The independent state legislature doctrine is one of those very bad ideas that rears its head every few decades , only to get shut down when it reaches the Supreme Court .

The argument for the ISLD is deceptively simple: The Constitution states that the rules governing federal elections are set by a state’s “legislature” John Avlon : Genser could change the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

Two Pennsylvania voters cast a voided mailed ballot, but the state reversed course and decided not to count their provisional ballots after all.

David Gergen : It's difficult to estimate exactly how many voters could be impacted by Genser .

Gergen says it's unlikely to change the outcome of the 2024 election unless the whole thing comes down to Pennsylvania .
