"It's really important for us to get accurate information about the election process in Pennsylvania," Chapman said. "So voters and the public know that when there are delays in counting, it doesn’t mean that there’s anything nefarious happening. It’s just what the law is in Pennsylvania."
On Monday, Pennsylvania acting Secretary of State Leigh M. Chapman revealed that there will likely be delays in posting the results from the state’s midterm election.
Chapman detailed in a virtual news conference how the state would be handling vote counting in the upcoming election, and said that it would likely take several days to count and certify the votes, according to Lehigh Valley News.
"It's really important for us to get accurate information about the election process in Pennsylvania," Chapman said. "So voters and the public know that when there are delays in counting, it doesn’t mean that there’s anything nefarious happening. It’s just what the law is in Pennsylvania."
Chapman said that the potential for delays is due to poll workers not being able to pre-canvas or count mail-in ballots before election day.
In response to comments that voters should hold onto their mail-in ballots and turn them in to their local board of election on election day, Chapman urged voters not to delay in sending them in.
"We have heard that there’s messaging out there in Pennsylvania, as far as instructing voters to hold onto their mail-in ballots," she said. "As part of our voter education campaign, we encourage voters to request that mail-in ballot now and return it as soon as possible. We don’t want voters to delay."
Two races being closely watched in the state are the race for governor, with Republican Doug Mastriano and Democrat Josh Shapiro vying for the position, and the race for senate, with Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz running against each other.
They’ll count until democrats win.
New Tech is less efficient?
No way. Count at the precinct level and go home to get up for work tomorrow.
We never Used to have these problems....
Yet some how France was able to count all their votes in one night and they happen to have a bit more people than Pennsylvania.
Even if they were cheating this is no reason to be slow with it.
Can they be any more blatant?
They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
They’re cheaters. All this counting way after the vote casting is infuriating. All of our tax money ...just get it counted the night of ffs.
This was always the case in Pennsylvania. It happened in 2010 and 2016, when Republicans won the State.
Pennsylvania law doesn’t allow the counting of mailed in ballots until election night. Moreover, Pennsylvania has an archaic system of verifying ballots. They literally take a book off the shelf and have to match the signatures, name and address from the voter rolls.
The difference between Pre-2020 and 2020 - now is that mail-in voting is MUCH easier to do and more people do it. So it takes forever to count if you aren’t going to allow counting prior to election night, and if you are going to use paper books to match the signatures.
In 2016, they were still counting paper mail-in ballots days after the election, there just weren’t enough of them to overturn Trump’s narrow lead.
There were north of 2 million mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania in 2020, as the Democrats were terrified to leave their houses.
In virtually every State, Democrats are voting by mail, while Republicans are voting on the machines.
In 2021, the machine vote was 14 points Republican in Virginia (More Republican than Kansas) while the Mail-in vote was 50 points Democrat (More Democrat than Vermont). There were just far less mail-in votes in 2021 than there were in 2020.
I remember reading an article by John Lott Jr. about using electronic voting machines that uses Read-only memory cards. That means they’re not connected to the Internet or any other outside source. You’d have to physically break into the machine itself in order to change the votes.
Fetterman is probably helping with the ballot counting and after the debate last night, they realized it’s going to take an additional eight years with his help to complete the count . . .

Yeah, they gotta get the counts right.
Accurate. And correct.
This may take some time.
You KNOW 'how it goes'.
(Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say-no-more, say-no-more...)

delay=they did not have enough manufactured ballots on hand
The GOP did nothing, nothing when they sat by and allowed the rats to steal a presidential election, they went along, they did nothing, they are responsible for what we have now and what we will get in the mid terms
Exactly.
Have to stop counting until you determine how many votes you need to find in order to win.
Correction.
The results will be delayed until enough ballots are printed and found to ensure a democrat win.
Yes, there is something nefarious going on when you delay counting.
