[snip] The Philadelphia City Commissioners voted 2-1 at a special early morning meeting to reinstate a process called “poll book reconciliation,” which is designed to eliminate the duplication of in-person votes and those already cast as mail-in or absentee ballots... The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit filed on Oct. 27 by a conservative legal advocacy group, Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections, that was created in July by prominent Republicans, including former attorney general William P. Barr and Karl Rove... A Pennsylvania Common Pleas Court had ruled on Monday that the elections board did not have to reinstate the reconciliation process, saying it was too close to Election Day to make such a major change. But the judge, Anne Marie Coyle, sharply criticized the board’s decision, saying the commissioners’ decision had “failed to consider the harm to public perception of our electoral process” that their decision to abandon the process could cause.

All they are saying is that they will not count mail in or absentee ballots if the party has voted in person. They will check the voter BEFORE they open the ballot, and reject any where the voter has voted in person.
That is a GOOD THING.
They can’t do it until the polls are closed, and all the in-person voting has been completed. That is logical. Therefore, only AFTER the polls close, can the ballots be checked.
Each ballot must be looked at, and checked against the voter logs, and marked in. And, that will obviously take time.
For God’s sake, understand what you are yapping about before knee-jerk posting.
