Kathy Barnette, who is a candidate for Pennsylvania's 4th Congressional District, sued senior elections officials of Montgomery County, which includes parts of Philadelphia, asking that the court “set aside and declare void any ballots that have been submitted to Montgomery County and subsequently changed,” the Post reported.

The lawsuit holds that county officials allegedly violated state election laws by contacting voters and allowing them to fix any issues with their mail-in ballots prior to Election Day. It also alleges that witnesses were not notified of the changes or allowed access to view the process, according to the Post.

Barnette reportedly also alleged that her constitutional rights were infringed upon. According to Barnette's complaint, nearly 1,200 voters submitted flawed mail ballots, the Post reported.

This is getting sad. That's worse reasoning than that drive in sham suit.

It’s going to be a looooong week. This will not be the last lawsuit...

As for this particular case it’s hard to say. This isn’t nam’, there are rules. She has the right to sue to test if they were broken.

Questioning the legitimacy of votes is not always wrong. If you weren’t allowed to sue it would be the wild west out there.

You are correct. If someone feels rules are broken that is what the courts are for, but Zaryia just likes to bring these news stories up like they are breaking the rules. They have every right to bring votes to the courts to see if rules where broken. I also agree rules should be followed. That is the entire reason you have them.

If they courts throw them out then they were illegal votes if not they should be counted. Pretty simple concept.

Agree completely. Rule of law and all that jazz.

But if the right wing keep bringing false claims that go before a right wing judge then the impact could be significant. While I appreciate that is the goal, it is still pretty shady for you right wingers to support it.

What happened to not casting unsubstantiated doubt at the democratic process? There’s is nothing here saying the system is not working.

Rules are rules man. So if a lawsuit goes in front of a democrat lawyer it should not happen either? That is also why we have different levels of courts to help against this type of thing also. Seriously people I always here this crap and then the courts rule against it and you all still cry about it. Seriously get over it.

Just more lies. No fraud in PA except by the GOP.

Isn't PA's electoral points going to Trump anyways? Last time I checked, it's 85% ballots counted with Trump leading by almost 400,000 votes. Unless I'm missing something?

Count the votes and verify them by all means .

The majority of the votes are from Democratic areas. Most Republicans voted in person rather than absentee/mail in. And the counties with the votes still out tend to be democratic. So about a million more need to be counted. Anything can happen.

Okay. I guess that's why I hear some commotion about Georgia as well, which I assume is true for that.

Trump is going to lose in PA big from a pure number of votes perspective. It won’t be a few thousand, it will likely be 100-200k.

Any recount or lawsuit to throw out a few hundred ballots isn’t going to make a bit of difference.

@zaryia: Yeah, good luck with that. Already had three attempts thrown out by two different Republican placed judges. They're just wasting time and money.
