Pennsylvania to Pay Mail-In Ballot Postage for November General Election
Breitbart ^ | August 01 2020 | KATHERINE RODRIGUEZ

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will foot the postage bill for mail-in-ballots in November’s general election, officials announced Friday.

The state government plans to use money from the federal emergency coronavirus aid bill to cover the cost of postage, which could total several million dollars to cover 55 cents per ballot, NBC 10 Philadelphia reported.

Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf’s top elections official, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, said paying for postage makes voting more accessible, safer, and easier during the coronavirus pandemic.

But aren’t elections state matters, not federal?

The vote is for the President, federal congress critters and maybe some local and state officials.

If the President doesn't have standing in this election, no one does.

The fix is in. Trump needs PA more than any other state.

IF you think everyone pays 55 cents for postage stamps, you are wrong.

I got a solicitation from a company with connections to Nevada state government & the postage on the envelope says 16 1/2 cents. I know that Utah state pays only 39 cents of so for their mailing costs.

Look hard at the mail you do receive. Lots of stuff UNDER 55 cents.

systemic voter disenfranchisement at the state and local level is a DOJ issue

its very much a Civil Rights issue. Denying someone their vote denies them the recourse of the ballot box-making the cartridge box/ammunition box a final recourse-undoubtedly as intended here

Whatever happens, nobody is going to accept the legitimacy of this election now.

I moved five years ago. Contacted my old county in a different state a few weeks ago to make sure they had removed my voter information.

Nope. They hadn’t. And this is FLORIDA which scrubs the rolls!!

They did remove it when I contacted them. However, had Democrat “Mail-in voting” been in effect a ballot would have gone to my old address.

They can selectively “lose” ballots just based on the area where they were mailed. Everybody knows which counties in PA are solid red.

Trump should try to stop this via executive order on national security grounds. Under Obama the election systems were designated as critical national infrastructure. This gives Trump the opening to regulate it.

Tom Wolf is a Democrat hack. The Legislature should just say NO.

Question....Is this legal? If so, what can be done to stop it? I’m really scratching my head as to why POTUS didn’t get out in front of this months ago. Mail in voting has been proven time and time again that it’s filled with errors and corruption.

I hope the reelection committee is laser focused on this and hits it early, otherwise it will be too late.

“Whatever happens, nobody is going to accept the legitimacy of this election now.“

What about the winning majority? Won’t they accept it?
