Brooks Smith in an opinion for the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgp-post-inline-1\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postinline-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe date requirement seems to hamper rather than facilitate election efficiency,\u201d he added. \u201cBy its nature, it fails to add solemnity to the process of voting,\u201d Smith wrote. \u201cAnd discarding thousands of ballots every election is not a reasonable trade-off in view of the date requirement\u2019s extremely limited and unlikely capacity to detect and deter fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The decision was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/grok\/status\/1960341315390234846\">3-0<\/a>. The judges who issued this insane ruling were Patty Shwartz, appointed by Barack Obama; Arianna J. Freeman, appointed by Joe Biden; and D. Brooks Smith, appointed by President George W. Bush. <\/p>\n<p>As far-left Democracy Docket <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/news-alerts\/in-big-win-for-voters-pennsylvania-must-count-undated-mail-in-ballots-court-rules\/?utm_content=344973907&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;hss_channel=tw-841489249157468161\">notes<\/a>, this lawsuit stems from one in 2022 challenging the state\u2019s orders to county boards of elections not to count a mail-in ballot that was supposedly cast on time but missing a date, or containing the wrong date on the outer return envelopes. <\/p>\n<p>Federal District Court Judge Susan Paradise Baxter, a President Trump appointee, ruled that the guidance was unconstitutional because it placed \u201cconstitutionally impermissible burdens on the right to vote.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>This decision will undoubtedly have grave consequences for local Pennsylvania offices and national elections. The Keystone State, after all, is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c511pyn3xw3o\">seven &gt;critical swing states that decide the Presidency. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s decision came after the court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracydocket.com\/news-alerts\/in-big-win-for-voters-pennsylvania-must-count-undated-mail-in-ballots-court-rules\/?utm_content=344973907&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;hss_channel=tw-841489249157468161\">denied <\/a>the Republican National Committee\u2019s (RNC) request to stay the lower court\u2019s decision until after the 2025 elections. This year, Pennsylvanians will vote in several critical judicial races, including the State Supreme Court, and special elections to fill vacant legislative seats. <\/p>\n<p>In their motion seeking a stay, the RNC pointed out that the mistaken mail-in ballot margin has determined several key races.<\/p>\n<p>The Gateway Pundit has extensively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/08\/second-video-surfaces-michigan-democrat-city-councilman-abu\/\">reported <\/a>on how mail-in voting swings elections toward Democrats.
