Pennsylvania lost: permanent mail in ballots

[PAMedic=F|A=]

Primary

These are unprecedented times, and we hope you and your families are staying safe. We are writing with IMPORTANT news about recent changes to the primary election related to COVID-19. In order to protect the health and safety of all voters, poll workers, and election officials while ensuring access to voting, the PA primary election has been rescheduled to Tuesday, June 2. Also, new mail in ballot options are available to ALL Pennsylvania voters. You can also sign up to become a permanent mail-in or absentee ballot voter when you apply. Please also consider sharing this email with your friends, neighbors and co-workers to help spread the word!

Vote from the comfort and safety of your own home

ALL Pennsylvania voters now have the option to vote by mail or absentee ballot without having to provide an excuse – for any reason or no reason at all. You can apply for mail-in ballots online, by mail, or in person, until one week before the election. For help or to be mailed an application directly, please call 1-877-VOTESPA.

For the 2020 primary, mail-in ballot applications and absentee ballot applications must be received by your county election office by 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 26. Applying online is very easy, quick and secure, and if you enter your email address, you will receive notifications as to the status of your application and ballot along the way. Once you receive your mail-in or absentee ballot, you have until 8 pm on election day, June 2, to deliver your completed ballot to your county election office. If you are mailing it back, do that as early as you can to ensure it is delivered by that time.

Voters who have already requested a mail-in or absentee ballot will receive their ballot for the rescheduled primary. There is no need to apply again if you have already done so and if your address remains the same. If your address has changed, please contact your county election office to provide your updated address.

We are, without a doubt, in a Cold War with the Marxists Democrats. This plan is to insure their cheating pays off big.....If they are successful, you will only have 2 choices, one is to surrender...

Voter ID? We don't need no stinkin' voter ID. Not when they have mail in cheating.

The Promise with the Caveat!

ID for Mail-in and Absentee Ballots

When you apply for a mail-in or absentee ballot:

You must provide a driver’s license number if you have one, or the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number.
If you do not have a driver’s license or Social Security Number, you must submit a copy of an acceptable photo ID.
You may provide this information to your County Board of Elections over the phone, by email, or mail.


The County Election Office will verify your identification before your ballot counts. If there is a problem, you have 6 days after an election to provide the necessary identification.

Some voters are exempt from these requirements, including:

UOCAVA Voters (Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act)
Voters with a Disability
Voters over 65 Years Old and Affected by the Voting Accessibility for Elderly and Handicapped Act

Thirty percent (30%) of the votes in Filthadelphia for the Democratic candidate for US President in 2016 were cast by the dead!

You may provide this information to your County Board of Elections over the phone, by email, or mail.

Probably a dumb question, but how is the County Board of Elections supposed to check a photo ID over the phone?

They should get with the times and switch to online voting.
