Pa. Absentee ballots dealt another blow in court,

Well, experts here told me not to worry, go ahead and request my absentee ballot, which I did, and I checked, they received my application. Pa. legislators passed a law eliminating no excuse absentee ballots, the AG is taking it to the state SC. A Pa. judge just ruled that the law can take effect mid March a week before arguments before the SC.

Our primary isn't until May 17th so I guess I have time to make sure I get to vote.

Republicans are rat fuckers is the best way I can describe my feelings. I have voted for 54 years and this year I provided my driver's license number and last 4 digits of my SS number to apply for my ballot.

vote, maybe the legislators will see the folly of their ways (just kidding, they don't care if it doesn't affect them).

I live among the Magats.

They could play games in Democratic districts though which is what they are doing in Texas. They decline absentee ballots in deep blue districts.
