Representing concerned voters in Pennsylvania, America First Legal (AFL) sued the Chester County Board of Elections after video footage revealed individuals depositing multiple ballots into unattended dropboxes, a blatant violation of Pennsylvania law, which only permits voters to return their own ballot. In one instance, a man was observed filling out and depositing multiple ballots from his car.
AFL’s lawsuit asked the court to require the County to take the simple and reasonable step of staffing dropboxes with monitors to deter and prevent unlawful ballot harvesting. The court agreed and ordered the County to assign personnel to oversee the dropboxes and ensure compliance with election law. This victory works to promote and fortify election integrity.
