How many of these were Dem, how many were Rep? We'll never know the true answer until 4-5, maybe 40+ years later after they are all dying or dead and gone. I always find it strange how this stuff comes out after elections and never before or during. Mail in ballots are privileged to be counted before voting even starts in person, they should have known what those ballots entailed a long time ago. But alas, something like this would have warranted an investigation and neither side wants that if it was in either favor.

It literally says so in the article.

Reddit must not be a lot of fun if you don't actually read anything ever.

This info is in the article. 1,000,000 dem and 187,0000 rep mail in ballots.

1% of dem and 1.8% of rep mail in ballots were discarded.

Turns out republicans that mail in their ballot were 1.8 time more likely to have their ballot canceled.

Actually makes sense, if this sub is anything to go on republicans aren't very strong readers. The instructions must have been very hard for them to follow:/

I don't trust anything anymore, even the media. So much flip flopping has been happening lately and how do we even know those numbers are true and accurate without a reasonable doubt? We don't, simple.

Then you shouldn’t comment, since you know and trust nothing. You make no point.

Or you could educate me instead of belittling me...? You are just a bunch of downvote happy trolls who'd rather start an argument than correct someone's misunderstanding on a topic I've noticed.

Or you could bother reading an article you’re commenting on.

For Fs sake.

Or you can ignore and move on. If I am wrong, educate me. It takes more effort to be a nasty person than a helpful one.

It takes none to be an ignorant one, apparently.

Trust the Committee of 70, the non-partisan election integrity commission.

They've been doing their darndest since 1927 at keeping PA's election system in good standing.

PA only had 3 instances of voter fraud in 2022, and that's even according to the conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation

Also what flip-flopping has the media been doing? I don't necessarily disagree with you, but it helps your argument if you'd cite, uhm, anything. Otherwise, you're just hyperbolic noise, which I think people of all political stripes can agree is a large part of our current problems re: echo chambers.

I've been following election results since the voting became available for mail in from MSN, CNN, fox and other local reporting and some of them were talking about mail in ballots being counted before election day which is why I kept seeing leads shift before election day even arrived. They'd always say Oz was in the lead then Fetterman, back and forth etc. Everyone was reporting something different constantly.

Just FYI:

Polling is not official counting. Everything you hear prior to election day, is from emotional data garnered primarily from people who still have landline telephones.

Media does not have access to actual vote counts until election day. Corporate media is bad. I really encourage people to support their local newspapers!!

And our mail in ballots are NOT counted before Election Day. Everything you said, is uninformed

The headline is intentionally alarming and some sort of dis/misinformation.

Mail in ballots is PA cannot be legally counted before Election Day.

Also, in the past, mail in ballots were often not counted in districts until much later if it was determined that the number of mail in ballots could would not have a statical impact on the election. If a district has 100,000 counted “regular” votes with a 95/5 dem/rep split and there were 1,000 main in ballots to count, there is no need to count them ASAP as if all 1,000 were for one candidate or the other, it would not matter vs 100,000 already counted votes.
