Pennsylvania is a request a ballot state. They didn’t blindly send out ballots as far as we know. In Illinois, we were sent a paper application in the mail well in advance of voting day. I could send the form back in or request the ballot online using DL# or last 4 digits of SS. It looks like PA is the same. If people in Philly didn’t receive a notification in the mail, they may not have known how to get a ballot in a timely fashion. It seems to me most of the 34% would be last minute voters that found out how to vote. If a person goes to the trouble of requesting a ballot, it seems to me they would vote. Another explanation might be the mail in ballots were from republican areas of town and went missing.
Yes, Pennsylvania did. If you requested an absentee for the primary in the spring, you were sent a ballot - not an application for one but a real ballot - for the general.

You are absolutely INCORRECT. I received 3 slightly different write in ballots almost 3 weeks before the elections. I voted in person in a room full of people who think they know me.
Where do you live that allows you to make such a distinction in this State?
I read that legitimate all write in ballots have a distinctive water mark made on paper of the company that actually printed them. Is this true??
If true, it may be very important in determining which write ins are fraudulent. (Of course by the time information like this gets disseminated, all ballots will have been burned and we won’t know anymore than what we think we know now.)
I am now a strong proponent of an actual voters ID card with that voter’s information and a signature line that cannot be
changed or duplicated. If someone copies or tries to alter it , the card blows up and icky black dye covers the assultant’s face.
