Ericka Worobec, a mail-in voter from Pennsylvania, joins a legal fight to ensure ballots are counted. With over 95 election-related lawsuits in battleground states, the political landscape sees Democrats and Republicans clashing over voting accessibility and integrity. Various individuals and groups seek to protect voter rights amidst differing state rulings.

Ericka Worobec, a resident of Cecil, Pennsylvania, finds herself embroiled in the legal battles over mail-in voting rights. A misdated ballot left her vote uncounted, motivating her to join others in suing to guarantee ballot access amidst mounting election-related lawsuits across key U.S. states.

These lawsuits predominantly feature Democrats advocating for easier voting access, which Republicans argue could lead to voter fraud, and Republicans pushing for election integrity, which critics claim amounts to voter suppression. The legal environment is heated as the presidential race between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican challenger Donald Trump intensifies.

In varied cases, from polling place accessibility for disabled voters to designating voter registration agencies, these legal challenges reveal the complex battle for voting rights. Advocacy groups and voters across battleground states continue to fight for their voices to be heard and ballots to be counted.
