Some Pa. voters still haven't received their mail ballots yet -- and they're getting nervous

[RandySF]

Almost all outstanding ballots will likely reach voters in the coming days, county elections officials said. And even for those voters who never receive their requested ballots, there are options for them to vote.

“To be clear, we have not heard of a widespread problem with respect to this issue,” said Kevin Feeley, spokesperson for the Philadelphia City Commissioners, which run the city’s elections.

That hasn’t allayed the concerns of some voters who are still waiting on their ballots. Roxborough resident Johnny Osborne, 50, said he has been constantly refreshing the status of his mail ballot on the state’s election website.

“I’m a little anxious because it’s a very important election," said Osborne, who plans to vote for Joe Biden. “Whoever wins is going to change the course of the country.”

1. PROBLEM!

Here in MD, when that happens, voters go to early voting places and submit 'provisional' ballots.

4. if they have not received their mail-in ballots by now, they HAVE to go vote in person or

maybe go drop it off in person (if that is allowed) if they get it by Monday mail

but really they should just go vote on Tuesday in person

it is madness to risk mailing one in now

5. That should be pretty obvious.

7. This happened to Errin Haines in Philly.

She was on Nicolle and explained she didn't get her mail-in ballot so decided to vote in-person - and had to wait on line for 4 hours - in a blue city which just goes to show you the state of voting in this country.

Quite frankly I don't trust mail in ballots at all, as many of the companies that print them (outsourced) are run by GOP/Trump supporters, and many states don't have alot of prior experience with mail-in and are doing it for the first time. During the primaries many states (including blue ones) had issues with mail-ins.

For states like WA, AZ, CO and OR that have a history of doing mail-in it is secure but for many others it is a mess.
