Pennsylvania’s law requiring postal voters to add the date to the outer envelope is still generating judicial activity. On February 11 the Republican National Committee filed a cert petition with the U.S. Supreme Court on this issue. The Third Circuit had struck down the requirement on the basis of the 1964 Civil Rights Law, which says that paperwork errors in the voting process that are not material to determining whether the voter is eligible cannot be used to invalidate a ballot. That cert petition is Republican National Committee v Eakin, 25-962.

Six days later the state government of Pennsylvania filed its own cert petition, even though the state and the Republican National Committee are on the same side. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v Eakin, 25-967.
