Philadelphia’s mayor warned that election workers won’t start counting mail-in ballots until Election Day — and will take “several days” to tally results — adding a critical wrinkle to the election in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to a report.
In an open letter to Philadelphia residents, Mayor Jim Kenney urged patience, WCAU reported Monday.
“After the polls close, and in the ensuing days, we will continue to need your patience,” reads the letter signed by Kenney and Lisa Deeley, the chairwoman of the Philadelphia City Commissioners.
“Never in the history of this city have so many people voted by mail. By law, staffers are not allowed to start opening and counting these ballots until Election Day itself,” it continued. “That means getting a tally of mail-in ballots will easily take several days. This may determine the outcome in Philadelphia, and in the Commonwealth as a whole. So, again, please be patient.”
Philadelphia election officials said they have received more than 400,000 absentee and mail-in ballots.
They will begin to be counted when polls open at 7 a.m.
The delay in counting votes in Democrat-heavy Philadelphia could mean that President Trump may open up a huge lead in Pennsylvania over Joe Biden only to see it disappear as the City of Brotherly Love tallies its vote.
Trump on Sunday said his campaign will be sending teams of lawyers into swing states to challenge mail-in ballot extensions.
“We’re going to go in the night of — as soon as the election is over — we’re going in with our lawyers,” Trump told reporters in North Carolina.
The Supreme Court granted Pennsylvania a three-day extension to count mail-in ballots.

I remember several Philly precincts going 100% for 0bama without a single vote for any other candidate.
Not hard to falsify.
So will seven large Trump counties! They have only 6 days.
I just read that DOJ will send observers to battleground states tomorrow including PA
In 2004, we had 98.6% turn out. I doubt things have gotten better...
The fraud machine is slowed down by the virus.
“I just read that DOJ will send observers to battleground states tomorrow including PA”
Is that a good thing or a bad thing???? I trust we the people but not the FBI and the DOJ
Classic
I say if they find out they cheated, he should be hung !
I am afraid that regardless of how big a margin Trump actually wins the state of Pennsylvania he will not be able to overcome the margin of fraud in Philadelphia. Hopefully, Trump will win enough other states that it will be moot.
The Republicans should expose Roberts.
That way we can replace him.
Once he knows the number of votes in the rest of the state he knows how to count the votes
400K total mail in ballots is really not that much.
First, not all will be democrat votes.
The cops, the unions, the miners...may be registered democrats but not voting democrat.
Second, Trump and his rallies will likely lead to a big surge in rural and suburban in-person voting on election day. Not many in PA like Gov Wolf and Rachels lockdowns
my neighbor fears the gentleman will just get himself shot or “beaten to a bloody pulp,” trying to steal the election from honest voters
either way on that, can anyone reach him and talk any sense into his head? he appears to be headed along an extremely dangerous path
I don’t trust DOJ agents.
Probably got started under Eric Holder, Lorretta Lynch, Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein.
Trump should dispatch his cadre of lawyers to watch Philly. On the first hint of fraud dispatch the AG and DOJ.
“dispatch the AG and DOJ.”
And do what? something?
Wasn’t there some story a few says ago about them not allowing Republican poll watchers at Philly precincts? How could they do that? I mean this is the area where several precincts reported either 100% for Obama or 130% for Hillary.
In the interests of full disclosure, the Mayor actually meant: MANUFACTURING AND counting Mail-In Ballots Will Take Several Days!
The Demonrat Party process is, first count the votes cast, then manufacture and count enough votes for Heels-up and Hidin’ to win. It takes time for the process to be completed.
The Supreme Court MUST put an end to endless days of counting votes
that arrive AFTER polls close. If mail in ballots arrive after Polls close,
they should be tossed out. Period.
