Supreme Court allows ‘undated’ Pennsylvania ballots to be counted

The sense of urgency surrounding the court’s action fell off last week, when Republican Senate candidate David McCormick conceded to rival Mehmet Oz

There are relatively few “undated” ballots, though they could make a difference in tight races.
