re: In Pennsylvania, you can now vote 3 days AFTER the election

From the mail-in ballot expansion passed last year. It clearly says that the ballot has to be received by 8 pm on the day of the election. Then the board has to meet no later than the 3rd day following the election to canvass the ballots that were received by 8 pm on primary/election day. LINK

(ii) An absentee ballot cast by any absentee elector as defined in section 1301(i), (j), (k), (l), (m) and (n), an absentee ballot under section 1302(a.3) or a mail-in ballot cast by a mail-in elector shall be canvassed in accordance with this subsection if the absentee ballot or mail-in ballot is received in the office of the county board of elections no later than eight o'clock P.M. on the day of the primary or election.

(2) The county board of elections shall meet [on the eighth day following the election to canvass] no earlier than the close of polls on the day of the election and no later than the third day following the election to begin canvassing the absentee ballots and mail-in ballots received under this subsection and subsection (h)(2).
