Pennsylvania court rules against counting ineligible ballots

 National Review:

In a win for Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court affirmed in a ruling on Monday that counties cannot count mail-in and absentee ballots that have missing or incorrect dates or signatures, despite the counties’ stated intent to do so.

The ruling comes as an automatic recount is underway in the race between McCormick and incumbent Senator Bob Casey. The recount, which is expected to cost taxpayers more than $1 million, is being undertaken under a state law that triggers an automatic recount if a candidate’s margin of victory is no more than 0.5 percent of total votes cast. McCormick led Casey by 0.43 percent with a maximum 80,000 provisional and mail-in ballots to be counted.

“The Court hereby ASSUMES its King’s Bench authority … only to DIRECT that all Respondents, including the Boards of Elections in Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County, SHALL COMPLY with the prior rulings of this Court in which we have clarified that mail-in and absentee ballots that fail to comply with the requirements of the Pennsylvania Election Code …. SHALL NOT BE COUNTED for purposes of the election held on November 5, 2024,” the ruling reads.
...

Democrats in some Pennsylvania counties were apparently trying to use ineligible ballots to overturn the election of Republican Dave McCormick.  The court had already been clear on this issue, but desperate Dems sought to ignore the clear ruling of the court.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
