Did you return your mail-in ballot? Do you know someone who applied for a mail-in ballot who hasn’t returned it yet?
As of Friday, a shocking number – 32% – still hadn’t returned their mail-in ballot for processing in Pennsylvania, according to the U.S. Elections Project.
At this time, we do NOT recommend mailing your ballot in due to unpredictable delays in the postal service.
Instead, please speak with your friends and family to ensure everyone who applied for a mail-in ballot uses a designated dropbox, satellite elections office or their county board of elections. VotesPA.com offers a search engine to find your local drop off location, click here.
This is no joke. Your actions in reaching out to family and friends could decide the election. Four years ago, Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by fewer than 50,000 votes.
Currently, more than 980,000 mail-in ballots have not been completed and/or returned to their county boards of election.
As you may have heard, there is a dispute over when ballots have to be received. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court granted a three-day extension beyond Nov. 3. Republicans twice appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and their appeals were rejected. But in a recent opinion three conservative justices have left open the possibility that ballots received after Nov. 3 might still be ruled invalid.
So please return your mail-in ballot in person ASAP!
