5. Pa. does a good job of informing voters

that the election office received the ballot and I'm pretty sure it informs the voter if the ballot was rejected.

This is the first I've heard about the naked ballot, I will be sure to let my Democratic friends know about the secrecy envelop.

We haven't received our ballots yet in Pa. because of the delay getting the Green Party kicked off the ballot.

I don't buy the doom and gloom, Republicans who don't use the secrecy envelop will also have their ballots tossed, correct?

When I get my ballot I will confirm this post about the secrecy envelop, Vote.org doesn't mention it if I remember correctly.
