Parnell v. Allegheny County Board of Elections (J. Nicholas Ranjan, W.D. Pa. 2:20-cv-1570)
A federal complaint alleged that poll watchers were wrongfully excluded from election locations established to accommodate the Covid-19 infectious pandemic and the issuing of corrected ballots to mail-in voters created the possibility of invalid votes. The district judge denied relief on the poll watchers, and the parties consented to relief on the substitute ballots.
