The PA Supreme Court on Saturday ruled to disqualify mail-in ballots without dates/correct dates. You can read more about it here.
There are enough votes at stake to swing a close election—which is what we’re going to have, especially in the Senate race.
Allegheny County residents can check these lists for their names—or the names of friends. These are the county voters whose ballots will not count unless corrected according to instructions below:

Allegheny County also provides this helpful what-the-hell-to-do information. I assume this process applies to any county in the state:
Voters may come to the Elections Division office,326 County Office Building (3rd floor), 542 Forbes Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh and present photo ID and will be provided the opportunity to cure. This opportunity is available during regular business hours of 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM on Monday, November 7, 2022 and from 7 AM to 8 PM on Election Day,Tuesday, November 8, 2022.
Voters unable to travel to the Elections office due to a disability may authorize a designated agent to cure their ballot on thei rbehalf by using a Designated Agent Cure Form, which has been specifically designed for this purpose. The designated agent will need to present the original form, signed by the voter, as well as their own photo ID to Elections officials.
In the alternative, voters who choose to vote provisionally will go totheir regular polling place. They will be given a provisional ballot to cast which is then returned to the poll workers, rather than being scanned at the polling place. Provisional ballots are researched and processed during the Return Board process which begins at 9 AM on Friday, November 11, 2022. Those voters may verify their polling place here (The search tool uses your mailing address, not your municipality.) and can learn more about the provisional ballot process with this brief training video.
All Pennsylvania residents who voted by mail can check the status of their ballots here:

Voting should not be this hard. But it is, thanks to the Republicans, who must suppress votes to win. We have to know the hoops and jump through them to have a voice these days.
Please share with your Pennsylvania friends if you aren’t a resident yourself.
Thanks!
