Well I suppose we could just ask them why it does not match BUT I don't think anyone would get much of an answer.

Pennsylvania’s State Department issued a directive in 2018 that may allow noncitizens and other ineligible applicants to register to vote in violation of the 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA), according to a complaint brought by America First Legal (AFL) and obtained first by The Federalist.
HAVA requires a voter to provide a valid driver’s license number — or, if and only if he has no driver’s license, the last four digits of his Social Security number — on his voter registration form. Election officials are then required to confirm whether the numbers provided are valid by checking them against state and federal databases. The system is meant to ensure that prospective voters are eligible. (Notably, foreign nationals can still obtain a Social Security number or driver’s license.)
But AFL, along with the law firm Zimolong LLC, argues that a 2018 directive the Pennsylvania Department of State issued to all 67 counties saying voter registration applications “may not be rejected based solely on a non-match between the applicant’s identifying numbers on their application and the comparison database numbers” is a violation of HAVA and potentially permits ineligible voters — including noncitizens — on the state’s voter rolls.
HAVA states that a voter registration application “may not be accepted or processed by a State unless the application includes” the driver’s license number of “a current and valid driver’s license” or “the last 4 digits of the applicant’s social security number.” (The exception is if an applicant has been issued neither, in which case HAVA requires the state to “assign the applicant a number which will serve to identify the applicant for voter registration purposes.”)
The AFL complaint alleges that the Pennsylvania directive “erroneously concludes that an application must be accepted if it contains any driver’s license or social security number rather than a valid one belonging to an applicant that can be verified against databases.”
The directive “does not just violate federal law; it creates a regime where an untold number of ineligible voters, including non-citizens, can register to vote in all state and federal elections in the Commonwealth,” the complaint reads.
AFL and Zimolong seek to compel the state to repeal the directive and “replace it with a directive that complies with HAVA.” Specifically, the complaint argues the new directive should require the state to verify the voter’s information prior to approving the application, and that counties should reject applications that provide either a driver’s license or social security number “that does not match state databases in accordance with HAVA.”

“The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has adopted and maintained a voter registration process that clearly and unambiguously violates basic federal law intended to provide a minimum baseline of security,” AFL Executive Director Gene Hamilton said in a statement. “The Secretary of State must abandon this unlawful practice and comply with federal law to prevent fraud in elections in Pennsylvania.”
sounds like dems are determined to win PA and WI and they have the ballots printed up to do just that.
The RNC has had 4 years to fight for election integrity in the courts by challenging unelected commissions making up new rules that ignore voter ID laws on the books. Ditto for the state legislatures.
Now that Ronna McRomRom is gone, the RNC should be waging lawfare against those who would foist cheat-by-mail-in ballots with no signature verification on us once again.

I posted this same article about 5 minutes after you did with this comment:
“We thought the cheating in 2020 and 2022 was bad, I suspect they are going to double-down this November. As we get closer to the election, more illegal procedures will be put in place, and courts will probably rule that “it’s too close to the election to change it now”, and besides “no harm has yet occurred”. Afterwards, they will rule any objections as “moot” and should have been filed prior to the election.”
I soon got the dreaded “This thread is locked. Search works!” response. LOL. I did search for the title before posting and got no results so I have a question. About how long does it take for an article to show up in the search function? Does anyone know? I’m asking because this is not the first time that has happened to me.
Obviously many of us here get our news from the same news sources and post them here. I’m just curious if there is a known lag time from an article’s posting until it shows up in the search results. Also, does it take longer if you live in the woods in a rural area and have slow internet?
Try a one-word search on ‘Titles’.

“Try a one-word search on ‘Titles’.”
So, instead of the entire headline, I should just search one prominent word? Okay, I’ll give that a try. Thanks!
Pennsylvania has been run by 20 straight years of JINO’s.
Fast Eddy Rendell, Tom Wolf and now Shapiro.
All of them are Golden Calf worshipers.
The Pennsies want all the sewage floating up from south of the border on the DemonRAT voter rolls. The RATS are counting on the retardedness of the illegal alien invaders.
Ping.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Only the heavy Dem counties need to do this in order to inflate the voter registrations that can be harvested by Dem groups, overwhelming the GOP vote and ensuring every statewide race goes blue.
