HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Some victims of child sexual abuse might have to wait two years or more to pursue legal claims because of a major bureaucratic bungle that prompted angry denunciations across the political spectrum Monday and the resignation of Pennsylvania's top state elections official.

A proposed state constitutional amendment allowing lawsuits over decadesold claims — prompted by investigations into child sexual abuse allegations inside Pennsylvania’s Roman Catholic diocese — wasn’t advertised as required and so cannot appear on the ballot this spring, the Wolf administration disclosed Monday.

Pennsylvania's Department of State called it “simple human error" and apologized, saying the mistake was discovered late last week.

Done deliberately, make press statements that they are tough on sex abuse. In reality they are covering for a person or group will fall out of the statute of limitations. They think everyone is stupid.

Part of the Rat playbook. They get away with it because they have the enemeidia.

Bookvar was the sacrifice. Will be paid back big time for being a loyalist.

“Simple human error” is what they say when they can’t say, “it’s a process.”
