New for this election, PA isn't requiring proof that ballots were submitted by November 3rd. They're illegally counting votes with no verification that they were submitted by the deadline.

actually the vast majority of ballots they are counting were received by Election day. They have said that there are only a very small number that were received after that. And it's Thursday - basically anything received now was put in the mail on or before 11/3 anyway. But they are not the the hundreds of thousands they are currently counting in any case

Sure, they can try to say whatever they want, but how do they prove that once the ballot is removed from the envelope? And if they were being honest, why are they keeping observers away from the ballot counting process? Observers have the legal right to be there when ballots are counted so why are they being blocked?

they are not keeping observers out, just a little further away. You may not have heard because you listen to the lying President but there is actually a global pandemic happening and election workers are not obligated to allow potentially COVID spreading Trumpers to get that close to them

In other words, he's right.

They can stay home if they want, but, if they come to work, yes, they must allow poll watchers to get as close to them as is necessary.

It's the law.

If what you say is true, social distancing is 6 feet. So why are they being kept further away than that?
