Midterms 2022
Imagine living in Pennsylvania and your vote doesn't count because you forgot to include the date or wrote the wrong date.
385 people forgot to include the date
618 people put an incorrect date
My quick Excel math tells me over half of these were submitted by people over the age of 70.

Perhaps Pennsylvania laws need a little bit of tweaking.
Re: Midterms 2022
Agree the law definitely needs tweaking - nobody should have their vote discarded due to a date typo or meaningless technicality.Dickc wrote: ↑Nov 7th, '22, 18:18Would be interested to see who these ballots are cast for even if unable to be counted.XtremeJibber2001 wrote: ↑Nov 7th, '22, 14:12 Imagine living in Pennsylvania and your vote doesn't count because you forgot to include the date or wrote the wrong date.

Democrats voted by mail 3x more than Republicans so these would likely be Fetterman votes by a 3:1 ratio. This suit was brought on by the Republican congressional committee and the Republican national committee, so you know who they think these votes would benefit more. Classic Republican voter suppression effort in order to try to steal an election.

It’s not just PA.

Do you think they would be filing lawsuits like this if they thought that more Republicans voted by mail?

Re: Midterms 2022
Making excuses already?? Can I remind you of "chads", same ole' playbook by the Dems this cycle. The Republicans did learn their lesson after 2020 and actually filed litigation early enough before the election to have rulings matter. PA is one such example.boston_e wrote: ↑Nov 7th, '22, 19:49Exactly - as mentioned it is a classic Republican voter suppression effort to try to steal an election.XtremeJibber2001 wrote: ↑Nov 7th, '22, 19:43It’s not just PA.

Re: Midterms 2022
Didn't work for them in 2000. I wish more Trump supporters would remember Bush v. Gore. You know, when a Republican president presented actual evidence in court and got the election overturned on legal grounds? Instead of just declaring victory and claiming fraud with zero evidence?Fancypants wrote: ↑Nov 7th, '22, 22:16 Making excuses already??

Re: Midterms 2022
I asked that rhetorical question as XJ posted that over half of those discarded votes were from voters over 70 years old. That is usually a heavily Republican bloc, and I just kind of wondered if they cost the Republican candidate more votes than the Democrat.boston_e wrote: ↑Nov 7th, '22, 19:20Agree the law definitely needs tweaking - nobody should have their vote discarded due to a date typo or meaningless technicality.Dickc wrote: ↑Nov 7th, '22, 18:18Would be interested to see who these ballots are cast for even if unable to be counted.XtremeJibber2001 wrote: ↑Nov 7th, '22, 14:12 Imagine living in Pennsylvania and your vote doesn't count because you forgot to include the date or wrote the wrong date.

It would be hilarious irony if most of those votes were for Oz

Re: Midterms 2022
Given the results, this might have been prescient
Re: Midterms 2022
Elections should be held on one day. Photo ID should be required. Ballots should be cast in person with exceptions only for military and homebound. Results should be known on the night of the election.

Re: Midterms 2022
My wife voted early this year. On election day she had to be at the hospital before voting started, 4 cases later she got home after voting closed. Should she have not been allowed to vote because her field of work is something other than military?

Re: Midterms 2022
Screw voting in person. Never again, thanks.
Same day results is also stupid. Did the forefathers have special supersonic carrier pigeons to get all the results in and counted same day? There's no need.
Instead of whining about process, worry about messaging. We already let you gerrymander the crap out of districts otherwise you wouldn't have squeaked out a House victory.
Republicans need to recognize their opinion is a minority one and that will only worsen as time marches on. Society becomes more liberal with each passing generation; not more conservative. Change your messaging. Trumpism isn't a winner. You got extremely lucky in 2016. That is it.
