PA Democrats Push for All Mail-in Ballots
Details
Yesterday PA Democratic legislators were on the Capital steps in Harrisburg telling the world of their plans to change state elections. One such change is being spearheaded by Senator Sharif Street of Philadelphia. He wants an amendment passed to Act 77, last year’s election reform bill that opened the door to mail-in ballots and a few other troubling things! His amendment would allow everyone to receive a vote-by-mail ballot!!
FYI: Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail.
The U.S. Postal Service is not secure. Last month a postal worker in Texas was caught on camera dumping GOP congressional candidate mailers in a dumpster. How many mail-in ballots end up in a dumpster?
Action Steps
Contact your State Senator and ask him or her NOT to support any expansion of mail-in ballots.
