Let's say you've applied for a mail-in ballot, and although you received an email telling you one is on the way, you never got it. What do you do?
I've told you several times that once you apply for a mail-in ballot, you may no longer vote on a machine. B ut you can still vote by provisional ballot at your polling place.
Within 7 days after the election, the County Election Office will decide whether you were eligible to vote at the election district where you voted the provisional ballot. If you were eligible, it will count your provisional ballot. You may call 1-877-VOTESPA to find out, using your provisional ballot identification number.
If there is no record that your mail-in ballot was returned, your provisional ballot will in all probability count because Pa. elections law contains a strong presumption in favor of voting.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Boy, here we go
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, seems consistent with a get-out-the-vote ad I just heard on a Philly station.

If you haven't received your ballot, not to worry. You'll be covered by surplus ballots taken from markers on grave sites. We got your back. Hope you are a lefty.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone answer this. Now that our Governor has decided 6 counties have an extra week to count mailed-in votes, do the results of today’s in-person voting in those same counties get publicized?
ReplyDeleteIf not, how can we be sure those actual totals from today are not used to determine how many votes must be ‘manufactured’ over the next 7 days to change certain of today’s races?
This is NOT a good look for the legitimacy of mail-in voting.
Republicans have no credibility on the issue of voting fraud. They just don't want others to vote if they can help it.
ReplyDeleteWhat could go wrong? Maybe the US should stop, step back and look at the voters across the world, especially the blue/purple,.. fingers, from those that risk their life to have the opportunity to vote. Next we'll be sitting in our recliners while politicians allow someone to come to my house and collect my ballot(s).
ReplyDeleteThe right wing whingeing and whining and general fearful pants wetting of the big bad "Dumb-o-crats" and "Lib-tards" actually being able to assemble and execute a vast mail in vote fraud scheme is beyond comical. On one hand, they're too dumb and unorganized to effectively govern, yet on the other can magically manipulate vote totals utilizing a method that has been in place for decades.
ReplyDeleteStop making excuses and looking for areas of blame for what in the end will be your own failure... Govern for the people - ALL of the people - not just your die hard base and you might see better results at the polls and not be concerned with mystical boogeymen.
It is near next to impossible to generate enough mail in votes to change an election without it being patently obvious. The scale to pull something like it off is just too big to be effective without it being totally obvious and easy to trace. Knowing the exact precincts and districts to target and the precision required to do it is giving way too much credit to any political party or operatives.

You heard no such thing.
Don't complain. You are being monitored.
