The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed Pennsylvania voters to correct errors on their absentee ballots, rejecting a challenge from Republicans who argued that the state's high court ruling violated the U.S. Constitution.
The decision permits voters who failed to use a security envelope or made other mistakes to fix their ballots or cast provisional ones in person. This ruling comes as Pennsylvania faces issues with nearly 20,000 missing absentee ballots, prompting a judge to order extended election office hours and the issuance of new ballots.
The ruling is seen as a significant win for voting rights advocates ahead of upcoming elections.

The government shouldn't be interfering in how people cast their ballots, and both sides should be wary of letting courts decide election rules instead of voters.
