Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Executive Director Julie Merz and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Executive Director Devan Barber released the following statement on their victory in the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Eakin v. Adams County Board of Elections, prohibiting counties from rejecting mail-in ballots solely because return envelopes are undated or incorrectly dated:
“Today’s decision by the court is a victory for free and fair elections, protecting Pennsylvanians’ constitutional right to participate in our democracy. It’s also a reminder that the Republicans’ playbook for the midterms is to disenfranchise voters across the country because they know they can’t win on their failed governing record. Democrats are united in the fight to ensure every legal vote is counted, in Pennsylvania and across the nation, and will not let these Republican attacks go unanswered.”
