A Pennsylvania judge ruled on Thursday in favor of the Trump campaign, ordering the state not to count some mail-in ballots with missing proof of identification.

This also includes not counting ballots that were "cured" during an extended deadline. However, according to a Forbes report, the ruling will not change the vote count current stands and will not affect the reported win of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in the state.

Last week, the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar's decision to extend voters' deadline in fulfilling the ID requirement.

Under the state's law, voters who applied to vote by mail should have their ID validated against state records by Nov. 9. But Boockvar extended it to Nov. 12.

The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court had earlier ordered any ballots fixed during the extended deadline to be segregated as the case is being heard in court.

Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt ruled on Thursday that Boockvar "lacked statutory authority" to amend the deadline. Leavitt added that election officials are "enjoined from counting any ballots" that were cured during the extended period.

The ballots had already been segregated and were not included in the state's vote count, according to reports. That means it will not affect Biden's reported victory in Pennsylvania.

State officials did not immediately respond to requests for comments on whether they plan to bring the case to the state Supreme Court.

Philadelphia Inquirer reported that it was also unclear just how many ballots in the state would be disregarded. However, it is likely to be small compared with the larger pools of votes the Republicans are eyeing to be tossed in other lawsuits filed by the campaign team.

Biden has a total number of 53,500 votes against President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, as of Thursday afternoon.

Pennsylvania Lawsuit

Forbes reported that the Pennsylvania lawsuit is one of many lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign that challenge mail-in ballots and voting rules in the battleground states.

Joshua Douglas, an election law professor at the University of Kentucky, commented on the Trump campaign's lawsuits.

Douglas said he believes that the goal is to sow discord and distrust, as well as undermine the people and the integrity of the election.

The campaign's chief legal counsel, Matt Morgan, said the court's decision supports their assertion that the secretary of the statehas continued to play fast and loose with deadlines and dates in this year's election.

Morgan added that none of the pending lawsuits might individually affect enough votes to tilt the outcome in Trump's favor. But the campaign hoped that with a few favorable rulings such as Leavitt's, they could narrow Biden'd lead.

Boockavar noted that ID deadlines should naturally be extended due to a September Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling of a three-day grace period for late-arriving mail ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 to arrive in county election offices.

However, Leavitt disagreed. She said that if the high court's justices wanted an extension for the ID deadline, they could have said so in their earlier ruling.
