More than 100,000 absentee ballots in Pennsylvania have unlikely or impossible return dates, based on a researcher’s analysis of the state’s voter database.
Over 51,000 ballots are marked as returned just a day after they were sent out—an extraordinary speed given USPS delivery times. Nearly 35,000 were returned on the same day they were mailed out. Another more than 23,000 have an impossible return date—earlier than the sent date. More than 9,000 have no sent date.
Pennsylvania’s voter records are being scrutinized as President Donald Trump challenged the results of the presidential election in this and other states where his opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, holds a tight lead. The Trump campaign is alleging invalid ballots have been counted for Democrats and valid ballots were thrown away for Republicans.
The analysis of the publicly available data was conducted by a data researcher, who wishes to remain anonymous, who submitted it first to the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times. He said he consulted the matter with several USPS field engineers, who said the return dates shown in the database are “impossible.”
The dataset made public by Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State was last updated on Nov. 10, 2020, and “describes a current state of mail ballot requests for the 2020 General Election.” The data includes the mail and return dates.
In Pennsylvania, voters have to request a ballot, which is then sent to them through USPS. The voter then fills out the ballot and sends it back via mail or brings it back in person. The process usually takes several days or even weeks, depending on the speed of delivery and response by the voter.
This year, Pennsylvania also allowed voters to “request, receive, mark and cast your mail-in or absentee ballot all in one visit to your county election office or other designated location.” That may explain the ballots with no sent date—they may have been received and cast in person. It could also explain the ballots with the same sent and returned date, but that appears to clash with the description of the database, which says the sent date is “the date the county confirmed the application to queue a ballot label to mail the ballot materials to the voter.”
If the ballot was received by the voter in person, there would had been no need for a mailing label.

“Since October 1, the average time of delivery for First-Class Mail, including ballots, was 2.5 days,” USPS said in an Oct. 29 release.
Impossible and improbable return dates indicate there’s something wrong with either the database or the ballots.
The office of Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State didn’t respond to requests for comment.
In addition to the ballots described above, there were more than 43,000 ballots returned two days after being sent out, which is still remarkably quick, but still possible if the voter quickly delivered the ballot to an election office or a ballot drop box in person. The flagged ballots comprise close to 4 percent of all those issued by the state.
According to the data analyzed by the researcher, at least 31 people who appear to be older than the oldest known person in the state returned ballots. They were all born between the years 1900 and 1907, based on the state’s data. The oldest known person in the state is 113-year-old Ardith Grose.
About 20 of the voters shared the birth date of Jan. 1, 1900. The date corresponds to an allegation in another state, Michigan, where a poll watcher said he saw poll operators adding people to the poll book just as they were counting their mail-in ballots, raising the concern that these voters weren’t properly registered and thus eligible to vote. The operators input the names with fabricated birth dates, such as Jan. 1, 1900, according to a sworn affidavit by the poll watcher.
Another analysis of the Pennsylvania data showed that the extremely old voters were mostly registered Democrats.
I see dead people.
Math is hard.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.

Third chart down is highly suspicious.
C’mon man!
Wow!
This massive election fraud is disgusting! People need to spend some hard time in federal prison for this crap!!!
How many only had a Biden vote??
Bump
Wow. A ballot was sent by citizen on 10/19 and received by USPS on 10/13. Physical laws were bent to elect Biden.
Where are Marty and Doc? They’re releasing “Back to the Past?” Is Doc still with Clara? or know Marie Antoinette Clinton?
President Donald Trump is going to prevail!
By January, 2021, Biden will be back in his basement.
I am trying to think of this logically. Are there plausibly reasonable explanations for so many ballots with dates out of whack? Or is this a case where we invoke Occam’s razor?
...you know...
“...People need to spend some hard time in federal prison for this crap!!!...”
True. And also facing the death penalty for it....it’s that serious.
Maybe the courts will force PA, MI and states similar to have to rerun their elections with proper oversight....
Wow!
The post office can move awful fast when the USPS union is ordered by their AFL-CIO DNC thug kingpin union to “get a move on”.
USPS just proved Einstein wrong!
