  + stars: | 2022-11-08 | by ( Zoë Richards | Zoë Richards Is The Evening Politics Reporter For Nbc News. | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +3 min
Democrats sued Monday demanding that undated or incorrectly dated mail-in ballots be counted in Pennsylvania's election, which could end up determining which party controls the Senate. The lawsuit, filed in part by Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman's campaign, argues that a provision in state law requiring that mail-in ballots include the date on the outside of the envelopes violates federal law. Civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP, filed a similar complaint Friday against state election officials. The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way in June for election officials in Pennsylvania to count undated mail-in ballots. The justices ruled that undated ballots in a state race last year should be counted.
