The Pennsylvania Department of State announced today that it will provide postage-paid envelopes for mail-in and absentee ballots for the general election in November.
“Our goal is to make voting as accessible, safe, and easy for eligible voters as possible,” said Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar in a news release. “Mail-in or absentee voting with prepaid postage means Pennsylvanians can vote from the comfort of their own home, without having to make a trip to the post office to buy a stamp, during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Eligible voters can apply for mail-in or absentee ballots online or in person at county election offices and by paper forms.
According to the Department of State, “Once the county determines the voter is eligible, the Department’s funding will allow the counties to send a postage-paid ballot-return envelope with the ballot to the voter for their easy return.”
The state is working with counties to determine the easiest way to implement the pre-paid postage.
The general election will be on Nov. 3, 2020. For people who want to vote in person, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Last fall, Gov. Wolf signed a law that makes it possible to vote by mail without having to provide an excuse. According to the Department of State, almost 1.5 million Pa. residents voted by mail-in or absentee ballot in the primary.

Who in Pennsylvania is ‘eligible’ for a mail-in ballot?
Whelp, PA is gone. Every county has a number. That number will be attained by a greater number of fraudulent mail-in ballots.
For example: Here is how “registration” happened in Prince William County, Virginia when the Democrats took power: THE INSPECTION OF IDENTIFICATION WAS LESS THAN CURSORY. You could have showed them a Topps Baseball Card with the bubble gum still sticking to it, if you were a democrat voter. They didn’t care.
For mail-ins? This will be worse. Far worse. They are out for blood.
Wow, they weren’t always?! That’s pretty obnoxious.
So making people pay the postage on an over sized envelope so they can vote is good? Really I’m surprised PA was ever doing that. As long as AZ has had absentee/ vote by mail the postage was already paid on the return envelope.
It’s a disaster and ripe for cheating in a crucial election.
I even think it would be a good idea to have a mass mailing to all registered voters which would be returned to sender if that person is not at the address. These return to sender names should then be removed from the voter rolls. Then let the people use that to request a mail in ballot.
Total BS!
What an absurd statement!...
Seems strange that an Freeper would cheer the guaranteeing of the 2020 elections a communist victory...
Unless coming out of the closet is contagious...
Everybody needs to contact their County GOP HQ and get involved making phone calls, ringing doorbells, registering voters, helping them with ballot requests, drive them to the polls etc etc. Get involved next 90 days are crucial for the future.
I say if you cant make it to the polls, than to bad ya dont get to vote.
These same peoplee will make it to Wall Mart no problem.
Traditional Absentee no prob blanket mail in BS
Pre paid envelopes are not date stamped. So you can never tell if it was mailed before the election ended.
*** “About time” ***
About time you were smoked out ...
Let me see if I got this right.
You can:
Go to the grocery store, Costco, Target, CVS, Walgreens but, voting is dangerous?
Right the idiots in the PA GOP backed this. Pa is lost.
Any citizenship requirements?
Get used to saying President Pelosi.
The fix is in. The communists will make sure no Republican ever wins an election in Pennsylvania.
The communist governor has taken over your lives.
All they want is power over you. That end justifies their corrupt means.
This is a good thing for the Democrats. Post paid envelopes are not post marked.
Get used to saying President Pelosi because that’s what’s going to happen if mail in ballots are allowed.
The Democrats who run my county have also fusterclucked the in-person voting system by shutting down all of the local polling places (COVID) and consolidating them at a huge local high school. It will be a socially distanced mob scene that will take hours to navigate.
This is an absolute mess. The best way to prevent fraud is one day for voting, just as the founding fathers intended.
