Pa. Democratic Party sues Erie board of elections over up to 20,000 missing mail ballots in the bellwether county
Erie County’s mail ballot issues have been unfolding for weeks.
Summary
The Pennsylvania Democratic Party has sued Erie County’s board of elections over mail ballot issues affecting between 10,000 and 20,000 voters. Some voters received extra ballots, while others never received theirs, potentially impacting their ability to vote in Tuesday’s election.
Only 52% of requested ballots had been returned in Erie, significantly trailing the state’s 67% return rate. The lawsuit demands extended election office hours, a process to track extra ballots, and disclosure of affected voters’ names.
Erie County’s political influence is due to its bellwether status in Pennsylvania, often mirroring state outcomes in tight races. It has swung between major parties, flipping from Obama to Trump in 2016 and back to Biden in 2020 by a narrow 1,400-vote margin.
The county announced earlier this month that about 300 voters received ballots intended for others in addition to their own because of an error by its Ohio-based vendor, ElectionIQ.
more like intentional rigging by the elites that fund both parties and who actually decides who 'wins'
My man, if a shadowy cabal of elites were dictating who won and lost the upcoming election, they sure as fuck wouldn't be manipulating results in such a base-level way. They'd just have the numbers fudged at the end, rather than take risks with tracked objects going missing.
God, I can't wait for the election cycle to end so the majority of the trolls, nutters and Russian astroturfers can finally crawl back into their respective holes for another 3.5 years.
Even that's too much work. They'll just get the Supreme Court to change the result. All for the price of a few motor coaches.
The Elites? The Covenant has gone too far this time. Somone page the Artbiter
