Statewide, over 113,000 applications have been submitted, about three times the number of applications received at this point in the last Presidential race
This sharp increase is obviously a combination of recent changes in state law, along with concerns about Covid-19.
Pennsylvania's primary is scheduled for April 28, but Governor Tom Wolf admitted on Monday that it could be delayed.
In the meantime, election judges are receiving enhanced training on the ExpressVote XL voting system that had, to say the least, an inauspicious debut in November.
The machines have been recalibrated to avoid some of the sensitivity issues that occurred in November. In addition, ES&S has installed a light next to the paper ballot so voters can examine their choices before casting their ballots. The font size is at least 14, larger than the font on this blog.

Trump/Biden.
Why bother?
It’s a race to the bottom.
Not if I have to pay for the postage.
Neither candidate will be worth the price of the stamp, which I may not be able to afford by then anyway.
This country is in big big trouble.
Don’t lick that stamp.
Realistically, if this crisis is ongoing by fall, there will need to be a postponement, not all states are equipped to change their voting system in the time remaining. Not all voters are equipped to vote by mail. it would just be another reason for many to question the results. The outcome could be delayed for months. Just suck it up and expect to have Trump for an extra year.
There is absolutely no reason for citizens of this Country to refuse to vote unless you die on the way to the polls. When my husband broke his leg on election day I went to the court house and got an absentee ballot for him (by court order) and he voted from his hospital bed. my husband and I have never missed voting in an election (primary or General) in more than 50 years. We vote the person not the party and we appreciate when the candidate takes the time (in local elections) to ask for our vote. We are voting by mail this year because of the VIRUS but we are voting. Just because you must put a stamp on an envelope is not a reason for you not to vote.
I commend you for your citizenship. As a Judge of Elections, I can attest there are a number of you who come to the polls despite tremendous handicaps. I am in awe of people like you and your husband.
Bernie you are backing Clinton's absentee voting suggestion via the fake news yesterday? Straight party voter fraud will be very suspect with all the dead voters in pa.
I registred for my mailin vote before the virus scare. I can aviod seeing the dried up raisen stationed at my polling place.
Trump or Triumph of the shill.
Just imagine the "Triumph of the shill" handling Trump's address yesterday. Go ahead re-watch Trump from yesterday, sharp as a tack, just like Bernie's address.
It's disgusting to watch the elder abuse being committed against Joe Biden.

Does this mean Lamont Lines are a thing of the past?
Tulsi Gabbard is now available to become Vice-President.
If picked, that puts Biden over the top...lets just see if Biden really wants to win.
Hillary is working out, getting into shape, and has just bought a new load of neru pants suits. look out Joe.
