Ahead of November’s election, voting rights groups are suing to force a Pa. county to tell voters their ballot has issues

The ACLU of Pennsylvania and the Public Interest Law Center are suing with a goal of reducing the number of people disenfranchised due to errors on their mail ballots.

A Bucks County ballot drop-off location in Doylestown gets some use on Oct. 30, 2023. Pennsylvania voters have options on how to return their completed mail-in or absentee ballot by mail, at a drop box, at their county election board, or other officially designated location. Under Pennsylvania law, voters must return their own ballots. The only exceptions to this are for voters with a disability who have designated someone in writing to deliver their ballot. Voted ballots must be returned by 8 p.m. on Nov. 7, 2023.
