(CNN) The US Supreme Court is leaving in place for now a Pennsylvania state Supreme Court decision that allowed the counting of ballots received up to three days after the election, even if there is no legible postmark. The justices on Wednesday denied a request from Pennsylvania Republicans to review the decision on an accelerated basis. He said the question had "national importance' and that there is a "strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the Federal Constitution." "We applaud the Court's decision to slow down, get to regular order, and let Pennsylvania have an election. They said that the state Supreme Court was wrong to order a three-day extension and that the decision was "incompatible" with the General Assembly's clear legislative intent.
