Reply to comment by ScienceWasLove in Majority of 16k canceled Pa. mail-in ballots were from Dems by TransporterOffline
It will be even more difficult to address Postal Service issues also, or at least ballots reaching the office. Unfortunately what I consider to be a given, "we need a national postal service", seems to be a debate these days. I would say all in all, after two major cycles of mail-in balloting, the system seems to be working well.
Redditors by and large are Internet-savvy, but I'm blown away how many people still don't know you can track your ballot status. I'm not faulting anyone in this thread, I'm just saying I thought it was common knowledge. From my perspective, I get tons of TV news segments, articles, emails, postcards, the news flashes about fixing/curing ballots, etc., with mail-in ballot information on a regular basis, so I'm secure in this process. I am still shocked how many have no idea how this works on their own personal level. How many people ask in my local subreddit where their freaking polling station is, people waiting literally till election day to find their voter card or ask if they need an ID to vote, people asking how to check ballot statuses, etc.
I'm grateful how much of the system does work, given all these challenges from the top of the pyramid down to the individual voter.

Hello TransporterOffline and ScienceWasLove,
Nice job between you both that a question can be asked and a persons head does not get blown off in response.
As for the headline first impression without reading the article was…
- Ok all those ballets tossed and Americans were still voted in.”
After reading Sciences clarification I then knew how many, by percentage, both parties had tossed because it was not only 1 party.
With the title saying only one party name the unscrupulous Americans will then use that headline to say that one party is guilty, see how many ballots were rejected, when in reality, both parties had ballots rejected and nobody’s guilty of anything.
The best title would be: 16k+ Pennsylvanian Mail-In Ballots Rejected because PA. Residents Cannot Follow Directions.
