Philly NJ said:Johnny Abruzzo said:PA mail-in ballots cannot be counted before Election Day because that's the law per Act 77, passed in 2019. PA Republicans have held up the bill to allow advance counting of the ballots, in the PA Senate, which they control 28-22. They have demanded that voters provide ID every election, a law that was already overturned by PA Supreme Court about 10 years ago. They have also held up a PA Constitution amendment to remove the statute of limitations on clergy abuse claims, also wanting to put in the ID requirement. So PA Republicans are essentially running interference for clergy sexual abusers, which is probably something they are doing on purpose IMO. Anyway, back on topic, voters do have to present ID the first time they vote at a precinct. And they have to provide a state ID number in order to vote by mail. They also have to provide their name, address & DOB to vote in person (How do I know? I'm an election worker in Delco).
The voter ID law was overturned due to the plaintiff, a woman from North Philly in her 80s who was born in the Deep South in the early 20th century and could not obtain her birth certificate, and never had a picture ID her whole life. Voter ID laws are typically used for voter suppression. The Speaker of the PA House at the time said that the voter ID law "would deliver Pennsylvania for Mitt Romney."
I remember two cases of voter fraud from the 2020 election. Both were Republicans attempting to vote twice, using their dead mothers. I haven't heard any other cases from that election, but I may have missed something. Either way, nothing even close to being enough to change the results. Although a couple state house elections came down to a couple dozen votes in 2022 and Democrats won control 102-101.
The idea that certain counties "cannot be trusted" to not "leak results early" is preposterous and blatant disinformation.
Mods, please do not allow election disinformation to be posted on this website.Lancaster County, PA, 10/25/2024: Detectives in the DA‘s office are investigating the fraudulent voter registration forms. Adams said they stem from a canvassing operation in the summer at various shopping centers, parking lots, parks and other areas. The investigation involves around 2,500 voter registration applications dropped off last week at two separate times, shortly before Pennsylvania's voter registration deadline.
Adams said of the ballots that have been examined, 60% were fraudulent. She said the remainder should be examined by the end of Friday.
"Staff noticed that numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting (and) were filled out on the same day," Adams said. “The confirmed indicators of fraud that detectives came across were inaccuracies with the addresses listed on the applications, fake and false personal identification information, as well as false names. Also, applications that had names that did not match the provided Social Security information."
Additionally, Adams said in some cases, applications had correct personal information, but the individuals listed on the applications informed detectives that they did not request the form.
Good job Lancaster County.www.myspace.com0 -

"In its statement, the board stressed that county elections are secure and that flagging the potential fraud indicates the "systems worked." Republican-leaning Lancaster County has more than 360,000 registered voters.
The statement said concerns "were raised during the staff's normal process to review and enter applications into [a state database] and law enforcement was alerted."

The system they have in place to identify instances of fraud is clearly working. This is a sign that the election is secure.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.0 -

Where mail-in ballots could matter most
Photograph: ShutterstockOct 17th 2024|PARADISE, PENNSYLVANIAShareListen to this story.“That’s not a woman’s position,” a straw-hatted Amish man in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, says wistfully, referring to the presidency. “I’ve got [voter-registration] papers in my pocket right now.” He’s been taking part in a “mud sale”, an Amish charity auction, in a field near the community of Paradise. While the auctioneer shows off his impressive lung capacity, several Republican volunteers mingle among the crowd handing out voter-registration papers and Trump-Vance flags. “I did this four years ago,” one of them says, and “it’s even better now.”
Pennsylvania has 93,000 Amish people, double the number in 2000. Almost half live in Lancaster County. They could in theory help swing the critical state, which Joe Biden won by just over 80,000 votes in 2020. But the Amish, who famously eschew electricity and cars, don’t have much time for politics either. Typically, less than 10% vote. That said, it’s clear that the Amish worldview aligns neatly with traditional Republican beliefs in limited government and social conservatism, say Steve Nolt and Kyle Kopko, academics at Elizabethtown College. Of Amish folk who do register, more than 90% do so as Republicans.
Keep up with the contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump with our US election forecast model
Efforts to court them have increased. “Amish PAC”, founded in 2016, spent more than $300,000 on advertising in the past two presidential cycles. The scarcity of Trump billboards in the area points to a tactical shift to face-to-face canvassing, which Mr Kopko reckons has found greater success. Between 2016 and 2020 voter registration among the Amish in Lancaster County doubled to over 4,000, and among those registered turnout grew from 49% to 71%.
With Pennsylvania a toss-up, Republican operatives are busy. Scott Presler, a conservative activist, founded “Early Vote Action” in 2023 to encourage mail-in voting. “The Amish could very well save the United States,” he says. Mr Presler and his ilk have been turning up at Amish sawmills and farmers’ markets, pitching their message that Donald Trump stands for world peace and the freedom for the Amish to live as they choose. Their U-turn on mail-in voting, “something which the Democrats really pushed”, he gloats, will enable the Amish to vote in private, away from the prying eyes of any disapproving peers.
Even if the Amish taboo around voting has begun to fray, there is a snag. By tradition, Amish weddings happen on Tuesdays in autumn and involve hundreds of guests. Presidential elections, held on a Tuesday in November, may well be overshadowed. So early voting may not just be a smart tactic in turning out the Amish. It could be essential. ■

Officials said the issue was identified via the signature verification process, which checks the signatures on ballots against those the state has on file for voters.
