Here we go.....

quote:

Unlike most states, Pennsylvania law does not allow officials to start processing early ballots until 7 a.m. on Election Day. Philadelphia and other areas plan to start work on their mail-in votes at 7 a.m. sharp, officials said, but swing counties like Erie and Cumberland are intending to wait until after the polls close or even until the next morning to begin.

So after in person polling they know exactly how many votes they need to manufacture or discard, its a setup.

There's a more secure way to insure the integrity of elections, and, God help us, as soon as the Dems have all 3 houses again, they will gladly offer to microchip all of us.

Hopefully it doesn’t come down to Pennsylvania. Would he have to flip a blue state to nullify PA?

Isn’t Erie Trump territory?

I think he recently held a rally there.

That includes Erie County, which swung toward Trump in 2016 and plans to begin counting in-person votes when the polls close at 8 p.m., followed by tabulating absentee ballots around 11 p.m., according to Carl Anderson III, the chair of the Erie Board of Elections. Erie is planning to stop counting ballots around 2 a.m. on November 4 and restart later that morning. Anderson said there's a concern if the mail-in ballots are reported first, the results "out of the gate could look pretty skewed," because those votes were expected to be heavily Democratic, based on ballots requested, and the county was trying to mitigate that effect.

So they can wait and see how many ballots they need to fill out and add to the pile!

Cumberland County should be reliably red. Across the river is the dem stronghold in Harrisburg. The west shore which compromises cumberland county is republican. Cumberland county is mostly rural and it also has the army war college located within its boundary.

So what exactly was the purpose of early voting only to wait till then count them?

I don't know what the answer is, but somethings got to change with our shitshow of an election system that is so open to fraud.

Could they tie our ballot in with our social security number or something? It works for taxes (as far as I know)

Trump won both counties combined by about 29,000 in 2016. The reasoning behind this doesn't make any sense either. Election day voters are going to be mainly Republican so won't that skew the results early since election day votes will be counted first? This is 100% to manufacture votes.

Weak.

So instead of “skewing” early in the night and clearly explaining this was expected, you want to wait until one candidate may believe they’ve won and then swipe it from him with your “skewed” numbers? F’ing morons

This might explain why the betting odds moved from +250 to +275 the day after he held three rallies there. It’s also a state where the bets on Trump to win the state are very low. Biden needs PA more anyways.

Is this not the state that SCJ Roberts dropped the ball on the other day in a 4-4 ruling to let this happen but left a door open for the case to be reheard if the Trump campaign made another filing to rehear the case? Ooops, we now have Justice Barrett on the court and we all know she's a pitbull for things constitutional.

I expect this to end up back at the SC no later than election day. My hope is that anyway.
