The Democrat strategy of using mail-in ballots to vote played a pivotal role in last week’s election results. Pennsylvania Republicans are talking amongst themselves about how to react in the next election. Republicans have two views: get rid of mail-in voting—which seems unlikely with more elected Democrats in power—or learn how Democrats got an avalanche of mail-in votes and employ the same strategy.
The Epoch Times asked the Pennsylvania GOP to discuss the 2022 results and its strategy regarding mail-in ballots in future elections, but it chose not to participate in this story. Pennsylvania Democrats were also asked to comment on their mail-in strategy but did not not respond.
In stump speeches and on social media, Pennsylvania Democrats actively encouraged voters to vote by mail in the days before the election. Often supporters would tweet at a candidate that they just mailed in their ballot.
A look at the numbers behind the election show just how much Democrats relied on mail-in voting. Democrats Asked for More Mail-in Ballots
According to the Pennsylvania Department of State, 1,439,579 voters requested mail-in ballots statewide. Of those, 986,540, or 69 percent, were registered Democrats, and 303,438, or 21 percent, were Republicans. The rest were independents.
In 60 of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties, 50 percent or more of the requested mail-in ballots were for Democrats. In all counties, less than half the mail-in ballot requests came from Republicans, and often far less. In 29 counties, 29 percent or fewer of the mail-in ballots requested went to Republicans.
When looking at individual counties, the disproportionate use of mail-in ballots by party is clear.
For example, in Philadelphia County, 165,980 mail-in ballots were requested, and of those, 86 percent went to Democrats and just 5 percent went to Republicans. That may not be surprising in a majority Democrat county like Philadelphia, which has 807,979 registered Democrats and just 120,949 registered Republicans, or in Democrat majority Allegheny County, which received 190,684 requests for mail-in ballots, 76 percent of which were Democrat and 15 percent were Republican.
But it is more surprising in majority Republican counties like Washington County, where 68 percent of requested mail-in ballots went to Democrats and just 23 percent to Republicans, or Lancaster County where Democrats requested 58 percent of the mail-in ballots and Republicans requested 29 percent. The rest of the requests in each of these examples went to independents.
More of Pennsylvania’s purple swing voters—independents—supported Democrats in this election. Shapiro received 1,011,783 mail-in votes. But statewide, 986,540 Democrats requested mail-in ballots. It means Shapiro earned 25,243 more mail-in votes than ballots requested by Democrats, meaning independents and possibly some Republicans offered their support.
But they were not as keen on Fetterman, who received 949,616 mail-in votes, that is, 36,924 fewer mail-in votes than the total number of mail-in ballots requested by Democrats.
We still voted heavily for Oz and Mastriano.

Nearly 700,000 votes before the debate was cast.
Face it people can tell about fraud all they want. Either the GOP
gets in the ballot harvesting and vote by mail deal or continue to lose even with a moderate candidate like Dr Oz
The rub is of all those mail in votes, how many were mass produced by a party other than the voter? How many were brought in boxes? Time to buy your neighborhood mailman a free dinner and a few strong drinks. You would be amazed at what mail carriers know. They are the unseen, unobserved eyes and ears of everyone’s daily business. My mail carrier I discovered knows everything about everyone in my neighborhood.
Its too bad that people can never vote their way out of this mess even if the majority of the population dislikes it.
By 2030 they’ll have us voting by cell phone
Zuckerbucks and crypto dude, Twitter Dorsey, Bill Gates, George Soros, and many more picked up the tab. It was celebrated as "get out the vote" efforts. "Vote fortification". The amount spent was staggering and it wasn't for volunteers with clipboards going door to door.
If you use the mail in voting system in PA you get at least 2 maybe three votes per mail in ballot. Works for me. If you read “parallel election” by Stenstrom and Hoopes. His theory is that the election officials created a pre packaged voting outcome in mail in ballots delivered to the counting office. They counted the fake ballots and discarded the actual ballots. Not sure but it is a viable theory.
Those methods weren’t voted by the legislature so illegal.
How about upholding the law?
“Well, the Dems steal cars so the GOP needs to learn to hotwire”.
The thing is Dems have been doing that kinda stuff for years and years. The GOP is very good at getting their voters to turnout on election day but the democrats are very good at getting slackers to drop their ballots off three weeks early this has to change
That was quite wise of them. If I was running a quasi-legal operation to pump up the Dem votes I wouldn’t want to talk to anyone about how I did it..
Do you see them stopping vote by mail anytime soon? Face it either the GOP gets a vote by mail operation or this is always going to happen
The democrats just removed the middle man from the process. And by middle man I mean voter.
Same in my county. Mastriano and Oz each got about 2/3 of the vote.
Exactly either the GOP goes on a VBM deal with those people out in those rural counties who only vote for Trump or never vote or they will keep having this happen
so your suggesting GOP should manufacture ballots like the Dems do? Because thats what they do...
If it is discovered not, that's reason to end all mail in and drop box ballots.
Cell phone voting might be OK if every living American citizen had a unique voting ID number and once that number had been used for voting could not be used to vote again. If you go to an NFL game, your entry pass has a barcode that is unique. If anyone else tries to come in with a copy of it, it does not work. There are so many things that could be done to make elections fair but Democrats thrive on cheating.
“Pennsylvania Republicans are talking amongst themselves about how to react in the next election”
What brilliant people! They should have been doing that after 2020 instead of the fake investigation into the cheating that went on. Investigation was good, but the Republicans ignored it and failed to act. Now they have a brain damaged senator to go along with a demented president.
