The Supreme Court’s decision to temporarily block the counting of some mail-in votes in Pennsylvania could deal a critical blow to former hedge fund executive David McCormick’s bid to tally “undated” ballots in the Senate Republican primary race that has him trailing Dr. Mehmet Oz by just 900 votes. The order, written by Justice Samuel Alito and released Tuesday, paused a lower court’s ruling allowing the tabulation of mail-in ballots that were missing a handwritten date in a November 2021 court election in Lehigh County. The US Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled in a decision released May 20 that a state election requirement that all mail-in and absentee ballots must be submitted in an envelope with a written date on it was “immaterial” and ordered all votes to be counted.
