we have the same rules. We have to provide our driver's or last 4 digits of our SS number to get an absentee ballot. I put down both.
Pa. Republicans have passed a law outlawing no excuse absentee ballots and it is going to the state SC. I checked on my application, it came back, received but pending.

They said absentee ballots were denied for those who didn't show up in person to request one, like that one resident's 95-year-old mother. If she could have shown up, she wouldn't need an absentee ballot. They just don't want people to vote since they know that if people vote, Republicans lose.
