(61,706 posts)Am I understanding that correctly? An no ability to cure means what? How broad is that?

(44,974 posts)It means voters won't be able to fix the ballot if its rejected.

(44,974 posts)That's where voter is supposed to sign, so without the inner envelop, there is no signature. So not accepting ballots without inner envelop makes sense. But no ability to cure is not good. Other states have that.

(15,812 posts)In oregon, the inner envelope is just a privacy one and the outer envelope is where you sign.
LisaL
(44,974 posts)But in OH we sign on the inner envelope, and put that into the outer envelope which is not signed.
LisaL
(44,974 posts)So I was thinking PA has similar rules, I guess not.

(7,447 posts)it's not really the judiciaries role to make law better, it's to rule on whether a law is constitutional or otherwise "correct."
So I agree with the court here, even if it does hurt us.
