Several lawsuits could change how votes are counted in Pennsylvania in November. Here's what you need to know

With Election Day looming, legal battles shaping how ballots are cast and counted in Pennsylvania show no sign of letting up.

Lawsuits over the state’s voting laws have persisted virtually uninterrupted since the 2020 election. And both parties are preparing for a potential onslaught of even more litigation post-Nov. 5.

The pending lawsuits before state and federal courts — mainly on issues related to mail ballots — may concern just a small fraction of the state’s nearly 9 million registered voters. But how the courts rule could have an immense impact, given the razor-thin margins expected to decide the presidential race in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state that could determine who wins the White House.

Here are the lawsuits that could affect Pennsylvania voters before November. We’ll keep updating this list as new lawsuits are filed, and as these issues are resolved.
