HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) Some county and state officials are warning that a flood of mailed-in ballots in Pennsylvania -- fueled by fears of in-person voting during the coronavirus pandemic -- will create problems in Tuesdays primary election that must be fixed before they cause a disaster in this battleground state in Novembers presidential election.
For one, they are warning that there will be no way to produce timely election results in November unless the law changes to allow counties to process 'mailed-in' ballots 'before' Election Day.
Even in Tuesday's relatively low-turnout primary election, election night results might be unlikely in closely contested races, they say.
Demcrat Boyle plans to sponsor legislation to give counties more time to process the ballots, starting the Saturday before the election.
More than 1.8 million voters have requested a mail-in or absentee ballot by this past Tuesday's deadline, according to state officials. More than 730,000 have been returned, state figures show.
Gov. Tom Wolf's top elections official, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, said her estimate for the number of applications had been "blown out of the water and that she at least hoped to work with lawmakers 'to change the law' before the November election.
Tuesday is the first election in Pennsylvania in which the option of no-excuse mail-in ballots are available to voters following a sweeping election reform law signed in October by Wolf.
Rep. Garth Everett, R-Lycoming, who chairs the House committee that handles election issues, said the primary election will have to serve as a test tube of sorts for how counties can handle all the mail-in ballots.

Gotta make election day a range so that they can keep finding/counting the right votes.
Every method of vote fraud has been deployed. Whats one more?
No early voting, NEVER!
Vote ONLY in person, on election day until the polls close. Open more polls if needed but no early voting bull$hit.
Chaos is the goal.
In person with ID only! Exception our military.
Demorats will never let up in seeking to regain their power..never. They’re like drug addicts that will go to any measure to get their fix. It’s never about the people, it’s always about the power and $perks they get by attaining it.
Their treatment of voters is appauling to say the least.
Trump absolutely needs PA. As it stands we are losing it with this mail in BS.
Hilarious!! This is so they can figure out how many more votes they need to gin up for the Dem s so they can win. Voila!
Oh of course.....and they think we can’t see through this! HAHAA!
Pa is one of the Demorats testing grounds to see how far they can push...if it works here to interfer and change the electioon results it’ll work for 2020 Presidential Election..
The push for mail in voters is paramount for them....and if they can keep these race riots going as well.
And so it begins....
PA Ping!
From thedonald.win...
“The Minnesota government gave out masks to rioters and looters so they could safely riot. If the government has masks to give out to people who are burning down their city, it can give out masks so you can ****ing vote in person like normal. We are deep into clown world here, folks.”
Deadlines need to be extended so that the RATs can print up as many ballots that they need to win.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
