PA Department of State Sparks Concerns Over Warning About Election Night Results
Meanwhile, citizen activist Scott Pressler is working on getting the vote count in that state over the margin of cheating.
During the 2024 election cycle, Pennsylvania is receiving considerable attention because of its importance as a battleground state. In fact, the state is now being deemed the “biggest prize.”
The biggest prize on the board right now and the most important piece of Democrats’ firewall against Trump. A combined $211 million of White House-focused messages is set to air in Pennsylvania alone, according to Axios’ analysis of ad spending, and it’s the one state where there’s relative parity in spending.
Democrats’ campaign and super PACs are set to cover $109 million of it while Republicans’ efforts will power $102 million in the window between the end of the GOP primary and Election Day, both sides hoping to snag the state’s 19 electoral votes. Put plainly: it’s a rare fair fight where Republicans are matching Democrats’ ad spending, and it’s the most expensive sandbox for either party.
Polling, too, shows a fierce fight. Trump is ever-so-slightly ahead there by about 2 points, but well within the margins of error in the surveys.
With this in mind, it is little wonder that an X-post published by the Pennsylvania Department of State warning about not having actual results on Election Night is sparking concerns.
The timing of this post, so close to the upcoming Presidential election, raises serious concerns about whether the PA State Department is laying the groundwork for potential complicity or facilitation in election fraud. The FEC should consider opening an investigation.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wonders why Pennsylvania can’t manage the count quickly.
Florida elections have millions more votes cast than in PA elections, yet we count the votes and report the results on election night — and do so in an efficient and transparent manner.
There is no reason why this cannot be done in every state in America. https://t.co/Nnq9ZebcCi

To be fair to the PA Department of State officials, they may not have meant the presidential race. After all, on November 5th, many state and local races will be on the ballot. As is usually the case, the margins on some of those will be thin, and all the mail-in ballots will need to be counted – and perhaps recounted – before a final winner is declared.
However, the stench from the 2020 election and how it was handled still permeates the air. Many are very upset with this announcement. So, if the officials aimed to assuage voters’ fears, they very much missed the target.
Are you kidding us? Most third world countries can count all the ballots in less than 12 hours. You coming out and posting this looks like you plan on in fact rigging the election.

Why do you guys suck at counting compared to Ohio and Florida?

This is literally you saying “We don’t cheat.”
Every cheater says that they don’t cheat. There’s no reason why we cannot have secure elections with real time results considering our technological advancements.

The best way to counter fear is to fight. And by fighting, I mean getting enough votes to ensure the count is over the margin of cheating.
With this in mind, I would like to acknowledge the hard work of The Persistence, Scott Pressler. He is moving to Pennsylvania, and diligently working on getting out the vote.
I told you I was going on a 67 county tour of Pennsylvania, so let’s begin:

If Trump wins in November, it’s because he won Pennsylvania.

Scott is the bomb
France is roughly 5x the size of Pennsylvania in both geographic size and population. Just this summer, they had more than 16-million votes cast in their 1st round of parliamentary voting. None of those votes were cast by mail and everyone, including the Prime Minister of France, is required to show their PHOTO ID to obtain a PAPER ballot. Every single vote was tallied BY HAND and the results published with 120-minutes of polls closing.
In 2020, PA didn’t have a final vote count of their 6.8M ballots (the majority of which cast on machines) until almost 3-weeks after the polls closed. Only a moron would believe the results of a contemporary American election.
To paraphrase the late, great Margaret Thatcher, “Being honest is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.”
Late reporting of results may not be ‘evidence’ of fraud, but it is a clue that fraud may be going on. Beware…
again
thats why they need the white guy in the ticket of the dems
plausible deniability
they know they are going to cheat again
they still say there is no evidence of the 2020 steal
when there is in fact…evidence
counting votes while only a select few were allowed in the building to count the votes>>>start with THAT FACT
Why do you say that?
White De ocrats cheat every bit as freely as nonwhite ones.
As long as the Pennsylvania voter can have an audit trail of how their vote was counted or not counted. The voter ID is only one step in the election process. There is still no process to which a fake ID (Especially with AI) can be used in my name and I would know anything about it if I did not go to the poll.
Many states allow a person to track their vote, particularly if they are voting by absentee, as well as the status if they voted provisional or if their ballot needs curing.
Perhaps we should spend more time telling people this rather than pre-emptively declaring the elections stolen.
If it’s not ALL of the states, then the states where that is not the case still need to look at their elections being stolen.
Also, you do understand that most of the steal affects people who DID NOT VOTE? How are they going to track their ballot if they didn’t submit one? Or if someone else filled it out for them and it wouldn’t matter if their vote was otherwise “valid” or not? Or, for all the people who go to the physical polls – how do they track their ballot? Oh sure, I know it went into the machine – and I trust that it recorded my vote correctly. Even at that (and that is a big burden) I have no way of knowing how my vote was actually tallied – the result of “secret ballots.”
At least I know I put the ballot into the machine and the machine says it was read. And there is a paper ballot that can be recounted later. With mail ballots you don’t even know that. Always vote in person, even if that means you have to vote early in an inconvenient location.
The LAST time I voted by mail (ballot dropped off at the post office two weeks in advance of the date), by election day my vote had still not (reportedly) been received according to state tracking. On election day I called the registrar of voters. They told me, “Oh, it will probably show up.” They warned me that I would be prosecuted for voter fraud if I tried to vote in person (assuming my mail-in ballot was ever found). I have voted in person every time since then.
I am not assuming fraud was involved, just USPS incompetence.
I wonder what happens to the ballots with bad addresses when the post office can’t deliver them. Are they harvested by unionized postal workers?
Unfortunately, it is not the polling place that is the problem, it is the mail-in ballots. Also, with modern computers, verification of addresses could be checked in seconds to eliminate fraudulent ballots.
It’s mail-in, drop boxes, registered voters who didn’t actually vote but somehow sent in ballots, and late-night ballot dumps with no real provenance.
We need to do away with “Election Month”, and allow mail in ballots only for exceptional circumstances, such as military on deployment.
This article, the Twitter comments, and even the comments for this article make it clear that most people either don’t know how things actually work, or they do know and are lying in order to lay the groundwork to make more baseless stolen election claims.
First of all, in almost every state, elections are conducted and reported by the individual counties or county equivalent. Some are even conducted and reported directly by individual townships like in New Hampshire. What you see reported are unofficial results reported by harried election workers often in small counties, sometimes reporting done only by fax machine by little old ladies.
The reason why it can take longer than many other countries to count is not only because of the decentralization, but because even within individual counties there are often dozens and dozens of different races, and multiple different ballots to count because not everyone has the same legislative member, county commissioner, city councilman, &c.
Unlike in Florida, most places legally can not start counting any ballots until the last election day polling station is closed. It takes longer because by law how they collect, count, and report ballots vary greatly. Florida is indeed a model of how to run elections, but other states doing it differently is not proof of fraud.
In reality, most counties report unofficial results in batches. Typically early votes are reported first and then one or two major dumps are reported by election workers transcribing tallies onto spreadsheets, PDFs, or election websites. There is no magic centralized tally machine that sucks up continuous ballot results and spits everything out in real time. That’s not how it works and people thinking it does does nothing more than fuel conspiracy theories.
Further, many places accept absentee ballots received after election day if they are cast by election day. Even then the basic law is that all ballots are presumed to be legit unless that individual ballot can be demonstrated to be illegally cast, which is intentionally a very high bar because many states make having your ballot be counted a fundamental right that legislation and regulation can not override.
For example, in Nevada, which used to report everything aside from provisional and curable ballots on election night, they must accept mail ballots for a few days after the close of polls. And yes, because these ballots are often not post-marked, they must be accepted and presumed to be valid. Even if a person comes forth and says they intentionally dropped their ballot in the mail after the close of polls, they can’t void the election and the person can’t sue to do so since, because they were not harmed in having their vote counted, do not have standing to sue. You may think it’s crazy, but that’s how the law operates, and election workers have to follow the law.
And is counting absentees after earlier election results have been counted any different when it comes to the potential for fraud than counting absentee and early votes before election day, as some quick reporting states do?
Before making wild accusations of fraud, understand how things actually work first.
in almost every state
OK, now which states don’t do that? Are they swing states?
When you get through telling us we don’t know how things work, then you throw out that sort of generic-but-not-true-in-all-instances statement, you’re whitewashing things, Mr Kettle.
You also don’t really “know how things work” if you don’t understand the outsize influence of the urban centers and the presence of the political machine in so many places. And, of course, the hand of the majesties in black robes swaying things when necessary.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that as we gain access to more technology for some reason it takes longer to tally votes.
Scratch that, no coincidence at all.
This article, the Twitter comments, and even the comments for this article make it clear that most people either don’t know how things actually work,
I agree.
Endlessly we have peoiple like you, blithering to make the farce that elections have become seem honest, telling us that invalid ballots cast after election day are somehow valid because reasons –not laws.
All to maintain the destroyed fiction that Democrats don’t steal elections at whim.
They just tossed the guy who got elected in their own primaries in favor of someone who got zero votes from anyone.
If there is a Democrat involved, there is fraud, it’s really as simple as that. No ‘wild accusation’ needed.
What absolute malarkey! Every state has state and local offices in addition to Federal ones. Yet Ohio and Florida manage to count their ballots in a fraction of the time Pennsylvania officials wants to take.
Moreover, mail-in ballots are by their very nature highly susceptible to fraud. It is for that reason no other Western nation allows the mass voting by mail the US does. No wonder people are losing faith in the system.

Pennsylvania has sewer ballot deposit stations on the streets, dump all the ballots you want however you want to fill them out and the Democrats/ Marxists will be happy to count them for you.
The amount of ballots being mailed to unobtainable addresses would shock you.
The Democrats have destroyed Pennsylvania voting.
I would bet the house Trump loses Pa, and it’s not by actual voters.
If as in 2020 Trump wins Pa its all over, the Marxists failed.
2020 should be 2016
I would bet if Trump wins PA he loses GA, or else GA is so close that a winner cannot be determined by the Dec 18 deadline.
usps workers have been caught on video throwing mail out into the trash ( not including any seinfeld episodes)
very recently in fact
then add into the fact that the left justifies their criminality ALLLL THE TIME
In 2016, Trump won by small margins in key states, but the margins were big enough to be unchanged on a recount. In 2020, it was the exact inverse – same states, but Biden won by small margins that were big enough to withstand any challenge. I expect the 2024 results to be exactly in-between 2016 and 2020 – in most of the same states, the margin for Trump or Harris will be very small, and within the margin that can change on a recount or challenge, – typically within 1000 votes for a statewide contest. GA is worse due to Fulton County, so any result within 3000 could easily change on re-tabulation. Virginia has efficient and well-run recounts, but Georgia does not. I expect a big mess. There are likely to be states that don’t have an electoral vote submitted to Congress by the deadline. The odds of Congress having to elect the President are very high.
