Pennsylvania's top court reaffirms mail ballots with missing, improper dates can't be counted

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday accepted Republicans’ request to again declare that mail ballots returned with a missing or incorrect date cannot be counted this election.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed an emergency appeal to ensure that election officials do not leverage a lower court’s ruling handed down Wednesday finding such disqualification violates the state constitution.
That 3-2 ruling concerned 69 misdated and undated ballots in a September special election, where the outcome was not in doubt either way.
But Republicans raised concerns the decision injects new uncertainty in the days leading to the presidential election, where potentially thousands of ballots are at stake in the battleground that both campaigns see as a must-win. The court’s unsigned order states the lower ruling “shall not be applied to the November 5, 2024 General Election.”

This one is for the ballots with missing/wrong dates.
THIS (STATE COURT) IS SEPARATE FROM THE SCOTUS CASE THAT WAS JUST DECIDED. -

They had the ballot vendor pre-fill the whole year. The other blocks have "Month" and "Day" under each set. It requires that people used to DD-MM-YYYY read carefully and do MM-DD-2024 (latter pre-filled)!
