Supreme Court denies GOP request on Pa. 'naked ballots'

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Republican National Committee NC emergency request Friday evening to block the counting of provisional ballots in Pennsylvania cast by voters whose mail-in ballots arrived without a required security sleeve and therefore invalid.

There were no dissents.

The decision, however, applies only to the case at hand — which involves the "naked" ballots submitted during the 2024 Democratic primary.

That means the court has taken no precedent position on any future dispute over Pennsylvania provisional ballots stemming from "naked" mail-in ballots in the general election.

The court signaled it agreed with the Democratic voters’ argument that the RNC lacks injury to intervene, and that granting a stay now would impose no obligation on state election officials overseeing the general election.

Justices Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas -- three conservatives who in 2020 expressed desire to intervene in disputes over Pennsylvania mail ballot rules -- issued a joint statement respecting the decision to deny the RNC request.

Judge sets Monday hearing in Philly DA case against Musk

The Philadelphia district attorney's case against Elon Musk over his controversial $1 million voter giveaway continued in state court Friday, with the judge scheduling a hearing for Monday morning.

The move comes after the federal court rejected Musk's bid to move the case earlier Friday — greenlighting it to move forward in state court.

Philadelphia Judge Angelo Foglietta set the hearing for 10 a.m. on Monday.

Musk's attorney also filed a motion asking the judge to excuse him from attending.

Trump calls Cheney a 'coward' as he continues to lash out

At an Arab-owned breakfast restaurant in Dearborn, Michigan, former President Donald Trump continued to attack Liz Cheney, claiming she’d “chicken out” if she were to be put into a battle.

"All she wants to do is blow people up. She’s a war hawk and a dumb one at that," he said.

“They don't mind killing people, but if they had to do it themselves – she wouldn't fight, she's a coward,” Trump continued.

Trump dodged several questions about his reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris calling his comment on Cheney "disqualifying."

Trump also repeatedly dodged questions about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s views on vaccines, reiterating Kennedy is going to have a “big role” in health care and that he’ll be talking about “a lot of things” with him.

"He knows it better than anybody. He's got some views that I happen to agree with very strongly, and I have for a long time," Trump said while not elaborating.

"All of these things will be talked about," Trump said, again pressed on Kennedy’s vaccine stance.

The former president, who tried to push for a ban on Muslim immigrants in his first term, touted support from Arab Americans, especially Lebanese Americans in Dearborn.

He said he wants "peace" in the world but dodged a question about the Muslim ban from his previous administration.

"We're looking for their votes, and I think we’ll get their votes," Trump said.
