Here we go again...
Just one day after 15 Pennsylvania House Republicans sent a letter to acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman demanding to know why 240,000 unverified ballots had been mailed out ("which, according to the law, must be set aside and not counted for the 2022 General Election unless the voter produces lD," the lawmakers wrote), Chapman revealed that there will likely be delays posting the results after the midterm elections.
Acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman spoke on Monday, Oct. 24 to discuss voting procedures throughout the state.
"It's really important for us to get accurate information about the election process in Pennsylvania," Chapman said during a virtual conference, where she said it would likely take 'several days' to count and certify the votes.
"So voters and the public know that when there are delays in counting, it doesn’t mean that there’s anything nefarious happening. It’s just what the law is in Pennsylvania."
According to Chapman, the delays would be attributed to poll workers not being able to pre-canvas, or count mail-in ballots prior to election day.
She also encouraged voters to go ahead and send in their ballots, contrary to Republican messaging which urged voters to hold onto their mail-in ballots and turn them in to their local board of elections on election day - which Chapman said could (somehow) cause voters to become disenfranchised.
"We have heard that there’s messaging out there in Pennsylvania, as far as instructing voters to hold onto their mail-in ballots," she said, adding "As part of our voter education campaign, we encourage voters to request that mail-in ballot now and return it as soon as possible. We don’t want voters to delay."
Chapman took the opportunity to convey concerns she says stem from 'misinformation' - threats to interrupt voting and calls to delay the sending of mail-in ballots.
While she didn’t detail a specific incident, Chapman said there have been reports of threats aimed at the voting process throughout the state. She promised that her office has worked to investigate any threat made toward a free and fair election.
“Since I’ve been in office in January, we have constantly met with the FBI and Homeland Security just to talk through what the current threat landscape is and tools that we can give our counties to make sure that they have physical security protection as well as cyber security protection,” she said.
“So it’s been great to partner with both the federal and state law enforcement organizations. We are in constant communication with them and it’s a situation that we are monitoring,” Chapman added. -Lehigh Valley News
According to Chapman, over 1.2 million mail-in ballots have been requested across the state, and 43% - or 556,000, have been returned.
So does that mean that nearly 25% of mail-in ballots sent out were unverified?
Lame duck political appointee chosen mainly for T & A (and melanin)....oh yeah, a bit of ACORN type “community activism”.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Cheating is hard work and takes time!
She has been in constant contact with the FBI, and Homeland security WOW I feel so much better now /s
NOT confirmed by the PA Legislature so she is merely an “acting” Secretary of State.
(The GOP-weenies “control” both chambers...little good does that do!)
What prevents someone form mailing in a ballot and then voting on election day?
They know there is no monitoring of the vote and are going to steal it right in front of your faces.

You know, in better times people voted in person on Election Day, and the results were known by midnight or on rare occasions, early the next morning. This is absurd, what’s happening now.
The “fix” is in.
Yep. I remember a time when you knew the results... when? On election night!
I received my 4th ballot in the mail today, my mom who is deceased AND I removed from the voter rolls has received 3 so far!! I will be going to a Republican office for voter integrity to take pictures of the ballots then head over to the county clerks office to RAISE HELL!!! I was honestly tempted to vote ALL 7 ballots HOWEVER I would be arrested not a doubt in my mind!! Makes me wonder if this is being done on purpose as a TRAP!!! I am in CA.
The fix...
Those Pennsylvania bastards shouldn’t be allowed to count ANY ELECTION DAY VOTES until after they count the mail in crap. They shouldn’t be allowed to determine how many Mail in banana ballots they’re going to need to have a real happy jackass election.
How utterly convenient.
Then yes, you would be arrested, unless you voted for Pelosi.
Reason # 1 that doug mastriano should be elected governor of PA as guv gets to select SoS
