Genser v. Butler Brd. of Elec. Appeal of: RNC

Summary

Justice Brobson dissents, holding that the Butler County Board of Elections was statutorily prohibited from counting the electors’ provisional ballots because Section 1210(a.4)(5)(ii)(F) of the Pennsylvania Election Code bars counting a provisional ballot when the elector’s mail ballot is timely received, regardless of its ultimate validity. The dissent argues that the majority misinterprets the term “completed” and improperly expands the statutory language.
