The SOS advised the county election boards they could not disqualify unsigned mail-in ballots.

Signatures are the only way poll workers can "verify" a mail-in ballot.

She sent an e-mail at 8:30pm on 11/2 advising election officials they should contact voters who had submitted deficient ballots and instruct them how to "cure" the ballot or cast a provisional one.

Apparently voters in Philadelphia and other heavily Democrat counties were notified prior to Nov 3 of deficiencies in their ballots, but it seems the SOS only sent the e-mail countywide at 8:30 on Nov. 2.

So, voters in the heavily Republican counties did not cure their deficient ballots.

This is the kind of pernicious, deceptive, creeping, bureaucratic DEEP STATE FRAUD that we elected Donald Trump to ERADICATE.

Which honestly is bad, but I'm more concerned with backdating ballots to begin with.

Many more were added after the deadline.

Agree totally. That is the more obvious and directly illegal grounds for tossing ballots. But those illegal "guidances" and the SOS flaunting state law requirements can turn an election when you're talking about a 1% vote differential.

That's a PERFECT Bush v. Gore style 14th Amendment Violation. Have fun with that one

Yes, the suit is based on equal protection and due process.

So do we have evidence that Philadelphia got instructions from the SOS before 830PM 11/2?

(133) Philadelphia County, however, had other plans. As reflected in a document titled “Cancelled Ballot Notification Information,” Philadelphia County sent a “notification” to voters whose “ballot was cancelled” because, among other reasons, the ballot “was returned without a signature on the declaration envelope” or “was determined to lack a secrecy envelope.” Philadelphia County allowed those voters to cure this defect by casting a “provisional ballot on Election Day” or requesting “a replacement ballot at a satellite election office.” Philadelphia City Comm’rs, Cancelled Ballot Notification Information, bit.ly/3la08LR (last visited Nov. 7, 2020).

(136) While counties like the Defendant County Boards of Elections permitted voters to cast either replacement absentee and mail-in ballots before Election Day or provisional ballots on Election Day in order to cure their defective mail-in ballots, many more counties are not. Lancaster, York, Westmoreland and Berks Counties, for example, did not contact voters who submitted defective ballots or give them an opportunity to cure. They simply followed the law and treated these ballots as invalid and refused to count them.

(137) Because the counties that followed state law and did not provide a cure process are heavily Republican (and counties that violated state law and did provide a cure process are heavily Democratic), Defendants’ conduct harmed the Trump Campaign. It deprived the President of lawful votes and awarded his opponent withunlawful votes.
