The Republican National Committee asks the Supreme Court to put on hold a state high court decision.

Pennsylvania 's high court ruled that election officials must count provisional ballots cast by a voter whose mail ballot was rejected because it was returned without a secrecy envelope.

Republicans warned that if the ruling is left untouched, " tens of thousands " of provisional votes may be counted.
