In Pennsylvania, citizens in some counties are asking for recounts of election results. Some want an explanation for why just 37 minutes after polls closed on election night, the Department of State website reported that the results of the governor’s race had 4.2 million more mail-in ballots cast than the number of registered voters in Pennsylvania.
Others are requesting a recount based on problems they experienced at the polls and want confirmation that their vote has been counted.
Now is the time to make a recount request. Once a county’s Board of Elections finishes the computational canvassing, which is required before election certification, a five-day window for citizens to file a petition for a recount opens.
A minimum of three voters living in a precinct must pay a single $50 filing fee and make the request for recount in their precinct through the county’s Court of Common Pleas. Voters pay for the recount, according to state law. But if the recount reveals substantial error or fraud, the requesting voters will be reimbursed.
In Pennsylvania, at least 47 petitions have been filed for recounts according to statewide political operatives. Recount requests are expected this week in precincts in the following counties: Northumberland, Westmoreland, Allegheny, McKean, Beaver, Delaware, Washington, Chester, Cumberland, Butler, Montgomery, Clarion, Bucks, Monroe, Dauphin, Columbia, Warren, Blair, Lebanon, and Berks. Voters Want Answers
In past years, election results posted on the Department of State website started rolling into the site an hour or more after the polls closed. It takes time for county precincts to get their results to the main county election center, to get those numbers totaled and sent to the state to be added on the website.
This year, with mail-in voting starting before election day, counties were allowed to start counting mail-in ballots on election day as soon as polls opened at 7 a.m. By the time the polls closed at 8 p.m., many mail-in ballots were counted. Once polls closed, the results could be made public.
At 8:37 p.m. on election night, the mail-in ballots in the governor’s race were 10.7 million for Democrat Josh Shapiro and 2.5 million for Republican Doug Mastriano on the Department of State website. Together, that is 13.1 million mail-in ballots for that race.
But according to Department of State data, there are 8.9 million registered voters in Pennsylvania. Of those, 1.4 million were approved to receive mail-in ballots for the Nov. 8 election. This means the Department of State’s original numbers showed 4.2 million more mail-in votes than registered voters in Pennsylvania, or 11.7 million more mail-in votes than approved mail-in ballots.
The numbers did not stay that way. Today, the Department of State website shows just over 1 million mail-in votes for Shapiro and 186,000 for Mastriano. Voters want to know what caused the earlier numbers to be posted on the results page.
The Epoch Times has contacted the Department of State for comment but has yet to receive a response.

Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Alley Oop mail order remorse? I hope they saved the box he came in.
So there is over 11 million Extra Votes, So What? Are they saying that dead people shouldn’t be allowed to vote?
4.2 million MORE voters than registered????? Did I read that right?
Elections in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and most of New England are simply not honest.
4.2 million MORE voters than registered????? Don’t worry, ONLY 4.1M went to the DEMOCRAT.
Not sure if Colorado or California elections are, either.
That is how people know they were screwed by stinkin’ democrats. Cheatin’ is their game and everyone pays.
There is absolutely no way that festerburg won an election legally. And with the democrats destroying everything that they touch, the shapiro win is questionable. Pennsylvanians can’t really be that stupid, can they?
I wouldn’t get to upset unless it crosses some ridiculous threshold like maybe 5 million
This is why I get mad when people here say “We need to vote harder”, “We need to get out the vote”, “Trump should have given more money to help campaigns around the country”, etc.
The voting and the campaigning is all fake. It doesn’t matter what you do.
Lumpy Festerneck likely had his minions ballot harvesting in cemeteries and on genealogical websites with some habla espanol illegals sprinkled in for some spice to the sordid affair.
PA has a Chicago type reputation - too bad there can’t be a total revote.
Surprised that Mastriano didn’t protest anything.
RINO-controlled state legislatures were happy to allow Democrats to cheat against Trump, and that feeling did not change in 2022 with respect to Trump-endorsed candidates. They don't want their exclusive club invaded by MAGA.
So what if 4 million more people voted than what were registered? It didn't make a hill of beans difference in 2020 -- the judges that oversaw these cases said there was "no evidence." This is the norm now that the scamdemic ushered in with the cheat-by-mail-in ballots and the cancel culture of labeling republicans "election deniers." All manner of fraud committed right in front of our eyes is allowed to go unchecked.
Does anyone really believe that RINO Brnovich is going to do anything about the cheating in AZ. It's all window dressing.
Did RINOs just think that the cheating would stop with Trump? Or are they okay with cheating as long as it's against MAGA? Do they truly believe that there won't come a day when Democrats start defeating RINOs in safe republican districts because of mail-ins and drop boxes?
What do we do? The strategy of voting out RINOs in the state legislatures and replacing them with MAGA made a lot of inroads, but I fear that this strategy will take another 2 election cycles before any real change can happen, and if 2022 is any indication, the Rats are amping up the cheating with smug RINOs doing nothing about it and blaming MAGA for election defeats.
Bttt.

During the week the website was actually being tested. (this is not a rational for the numbers) so when i looked during that week, the page said testing and it showed mastriano winning.

They just run the mail in ballots thru a few times. Because of the disparity repub/dem you are sure to get more 8/2 dem votes in any mail in batch. Centralized counting of the mail in ballots make it incredibly easy to just run regular ballots thru the counting machine two or three times. They do not update the voter registration with a received mail in ballot. This has been documented by the Auditor General.
>The voting and the campaigning is all fake. It doesn’t matter what you do.
We’re quickly shifting from the ballot box to the bullet box, thanks to the lawlessness that stems from distrust in the elections. 57% of Americans think that cheating is going on, so it’s not a minority.
