WaPo: the GOP suit was brought by Karl Rove-Bill Barr group. Democratic groups that intervened in the case said the lawsuit was an effort to “cast doubt on the validity of mail-in ballots and perpetuate the evidence free claim that ‘bad things happen Philadelphia.’”
The procedure, known as poll book reconciliation, double checks that no one voted both by mail and in person. It will slow reporting of the full Philly vote from Wed am until days later. It will affect votes ‘in the low 10s of thousands,’ reports @PhillyInquirer
‘I want to be very clear’ that when people target Philly later tonight for being slow to count ballots, it’s because Rs sued to force a procedure no other PA county follows, says the *GOP* member of the Phillly voting board. https://t.co/ibgAVIElbp
