A Pennsylvania appellate court handed President Donald Trump’s campaign a minor victory Thursday, barring counties from including in their final vote tallies a small pool of mail ballots from people who had failed to provide required ID by a Monday deadline.
In her order Thursday, Commonwealth Court President Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt ruled that Boockvar, an appointee of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, had no authority to do that.
None of the votes affected by the ruling had yet been included in the state’s official tally — which as of Thursday had Joe Biden at a 54,000-vote advantage over Trump.
