It does. Quoting:
"The U.S. Supreme Court could also still potentially invalidate Pennsylvania’s extended mail-in voting deadline, which allowed mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be accepted as long as they were delivered by Friday, Nov. 6. That ruling would only affect approximately 10,000 ballots, elections officials have said—which are being segregated and are not included in the current vote count—and thus invalidating them would not affect Biden’s win in Pennsylvania."
The idea being that it doesn't have anything to do with who won or lost. It is more to do with the fact that the ballots are being contested in the Courts when it should have been the electoral system actually ensuring integrity. Court should be the last resort. I give my reasons in the answer above.
- dragonwriter 6y agoThe 10,000 ballots are, as the excerpt specifically says, a different set than those that have been invalidated that Trump is trying to get invalidated by the US Supreme Court, having already had that bid rejected in lower courts. So, yes, the article mentions “10,000 ballots”, but not as having been pulled from counting by the judge in the case that has been decided that it was reporting on.
