Philadelphia’s mayor warned that election workers won’t start counting mail-in ballots until Election Day — and will take “several days” to tally results — adding a critical wrinkle to the election in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to a report.
In an open letter to Philadelphia residents, Mayor Jim Kenney urged patience, WCAU reported Monday.
“After the polls close, and in the ensuing days, we will continue to need your patience,” reads the letter signed by Kenney and Lisa Deeley, the chairwoman of the Philadelphia City Commissioners.
“Never in the history of this city have so many people voted by mail. By law, staffers are not allowed to start opening and counting these ballots until Election Day itself,” it continued. “That means getting a tally of mail-in ballots will easily take several days. This may determine the outcome in Philadelphia, and in the Commonwealth as a whole. So, again, please be patient.”
Philadelphia election officials said they have received more than 400,000 absentee and mail-in ballots.
They will begin to be counted when polls open at 7 a.m.
The delay in counting votes in Democrat-heavy Philadelphia could mean that President Trump may open up a huge lead in Pennsylvania over Joe Biden only to see it disappear as the City of Brotherly Love tallies its vote.
Trump on Sunday said his campaign will be sending teams of lawyers into swing states to challenge mail-in ballot extensions.
“We’re going to go in the night of — as soon as the election is over — we’re going in with our lawyers,” Trump told reporters in North Carolina.
The Supreme Court granted Pennsylvania a three-day extension to count mail-in ballots.

Zombie vote at a vacant lot. Biden 100-0
There’s a very real chance that Philadelphia with have of voter “turnout” of over 100%
They lied lied about Russia.
They lied about Ukraine.
They lied about Kavanaugh.
But you can trust the fake stream news about the election.
Why does a Mayor have any involvement with a Federal election? Isn’t this a State responsibility?
So, it’s going to be a game of Sit on the Ballots til we know how many to manufacture?
As long as those mail in votes are secured, under bipartisan supervision, and the chain of custody is not broken, fine. It’s the extra ballots that are “found” days after the election and late arriving mail in ballots with mismatched signatures and no postmark that worry me.
“There’s a very real chance that Philadelphia with have of voter “turnout” of over 100%”
Areas certainly did with Obama. I think one was like 114%, and all I ever heard from the media was “wow, Obama did well there...”
How does a mayor get involved in a Federal election? Ask Richard Nixon’s ghost about Mayor Daley in Chicago.
I don’t understand why counting mail in ballots should take longer than counting ballots all submitted on one day, Election Day.
It should take less time because they can count them as they come in. They have a head start and there are less to count on actual Election Day.
Seven Trump counties don’t start counting till Wed per the thread downstream.
The GOP better have a battery of lawyers watching the ballot counting, EVERY ballot.
I think they voted 106% for Obama in 2008
DOJ needs agents down there now.
I would imagine a 200% turnout

I think what will happen is fairly quickly, the Rats will realize that Slow Joe isn’t the Hill to Die On.
Okay.
The mayor said this.
As did the AG.
Also the governor.
I think they’re all set for theft.
If they try and prevent GOP from watching the count like they’ve done in the past, unleash hell.
I am assuming the federal government will have armed guards keeping them from printing up what they need?
The vile traitor John Roberts made all this fraud possible.
