Pennsylvania Has Already Become Ground Zero for Election-Fraud Claims
WSJ via MSN ^ | Oct 30, 2024 | Scott Calvert, Alyssa Lukpat, Cameron McWhirter

Nuns in Erie falsely accused of perpetrating voter fraud. A suburban Philadelphia election-line snafu amplified worldwide in under half an hour. A Tuesday night rallying cry by Donald Trump: “They have already started cheating in Lancaster.”

Across Pennsylvania, local and state officials are warning that efforts by Trump and his supporters to call into question the integrity of the presidential election in the crucial swing state are ramping up—before a single ballot has been counted.

The state’s top election official, Republican Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt, said Wednesday that in just the previous 24 hours, several widely disseminated videos lacked context or were false.

“Sharing social posts filled with half-truths or even outright lies is harmful to our representative democracy,” he said at a press conference, urging voters to get information from trusted sources and noting that “mis- and disinformation” about the state’s election is “likely to continue in the coming days and weeks ahead.”

Authorities like Schmidt say they worry the attacks could erode faith in the system while many citizens are still preparing to vote, and that it is setting the stage for fierce post-Nov. 5 legal challenges.

“I don’t think it’s a secret how important Pennsylvania is in determining who will win the race for the White House or control of the Senate,” Schmidt said, of the forces drawing election skeptics to the state.

Videos showing bus loads going to the head of the line should be enough to show election interference.

Easy solution to the problem of lack of confidence in voter integrity. Paper ballets and voter id.

The election-riggers in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania use the brute force method - they have no subtlety at all.

They figure that no one will challenge them on their ham-handed, in-your-face BS.

Michigan is much more subtle. Very smart crap-weasels, like Commie "Dirty Josey" Benson.

IMHO, Trannysylvania is pulling all these crazy voting antics to make “The steal” easier for the RATS. Nobody could be this friggin’ stupid.

The bastard sounds just like a Democrat. I'm surprised he didn't roll with "debunked" and "conspiracy theories."

What "trusted sources" does he recommend? I trust X, FR, Breitbart, Powerline, PJ Media, Red State, Townhall, American Thinker, Conservative Treehouse, and Legal Insurrection, but I doubt those are on his list of "trusted sources."

They are not actually voting. IF they don't get the mail in ballot they can vote in person or try for an emergency application. Anyone waiting for a government bureaucrat to expedite the processing of their mail in ballot request is pretty stupid. And waiting until the final day to get said application is also pretty stupid.

I’m in PA (Bucks County). I have never voted early but my understanding is that you wait in line, apply for the Mail-in Ballot with your name & address (not sure about other ID??) and signature (used to be a paper to sign but is now a useless digital screen) — you will then receive a ballot immediately & can fill it out and deposit it in a secure (??) box right there in the room, the ballot does not need to be taken home and later mailed, if you so choose.

I have volunteered at the polls in the past and (at that time) your affiliation was shown on the voter rolls. So it is within the scope of possibilities that “too many” Republicans were signing in, & the decision to stop the lines was made (just speculation on my part). Lots of rabid libs in this area, esp Doylestown, where you early vote at the Court House.

I live in Doylestown and there is a group of women who have radicalized the town. What do I mean by radicals if you disagree with them they will destroy you. I mean destroy you. These are the type of women who wound up at Washington DC wearing their pussy hats. They are a certain age and the only thing they really care about is killing babies. The town is Ground Zero for everything that’s wrong with Pennsylvania.

Across Pennsylvania, local and state officials are warning

Wouldn't it be nice if this read, "Across Pennsylvania, local and state officials are investigating"

Do your damn jobs!
