Some woman from Allegany County just called in to Rush's radio show. If I heard it correctly, party affiliation and signature are required on the OUTSIDE of the mailed in ballot. She was ticked off.

That's so the LIBERAL POSTAL UNION knows to toss those ballots.
Not kidding, its been going on for years because guess who knows where the conservative neighborhoods are?

Do they really “embrace” it? Sounds like media weasel words.

I live in Allegheny County. It has ALWAYS been this way.
PA has closed primaries. The Democrats vote in the Democrat primary, and Republicans vote in the Republican primary.
The way it works is that you mail in your ballot and it gets delivered to the polling place where you would normally vote, still sealed in an envelope. At the end of the night when they run precinct totals those absentee ballots are opened and added to the totals.
They need to know whether a ballot is for the Democrat or GOP primary without opening it to keep the security of the system (which is actually pretty decent compared to some others out there).
Advantage is that your absentee ballot has to be physically at your polling place before voting starts or it isn’t counted. No Seattle “hey, look what I found in the trunk of this car!” scenarios.

That's ridiculous and completely void of any logic. If they need that to 'keep the security' of their system, then their system is a complete joke.

dvantage is that your absentee ballot has to be physically at your polling place before voting starts or it isnt counted. No Seattle hey, look what I found in the trunk of this car! scenarios. But before it gets from the voter to the polling place, the letter is handled by postal employees, most of whom are probably Democrats.

I heard part of that call. This amounts to blatant election fraud.
You independents and current Democrats, what are you going to do when it is time for YOU to vote against the Rat party????

Voter fraud is rampant. There has been proof it occurs, and The Stupid Party does NOTHING. If we wanted to stop this crime, people committing voter fraud should be publicly hanged and left for the buzzards.

Actually a relative of mine designed it years ago. But thanks.
Keep in mind this is for a PRIMARY. Pennsylvania does not have crossover voting so ballots for each party need to be kept separate. The alternatives would be to have somebody open the ballot prior to Election Day (bad), or have all absentee ballots counted separately at some other location (bad, brings up the "look what we just found in the trunk" nightmare scenario).
The ballot goes to YOUR individual polling place, still sealed. It gets opened at the end of the night and counted with the totals from the machines. Officials at that polling place have the registration records and can check to see if the absentee voter is actually registered there (or of you vote regularly they probably know you).
No system is perfect. The general election ballots in the Fall DO NOT have party labels on the outside.

More likely they issue 1 million ballots and get 2 million back

I think we need to admit that the fix is in. Pennsylvania and Michigan will be flipped. The mail vote and ballot harvest will kill the country on top of this BS virus.

I believe, barring a miracle,that you are correct. In fact, I know that you are. Prepare for the worse and hope for the best. But I doubt that the Calvary comes charging over the hill. Even though our leaders, with the exception of President Trump, betrayed us and sold us down the river, we got ourselves in this mess and will have to get ourselves out. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, it is going to take prayers, blood , sweat, toil,tears, and if we have the courage bullets. The alternative is submission, slavery and extermination. It will make what the Jews endured in Nazi Germany seem like a walk in the park by comparison.
