    Quite a lot of the misinformation out of PA stems from a willful ignorance of how all this stuff works.

    For example… the voter registration drives turning in invalid registrations:

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/voter-registration-probes-launched-crucial-keystone-state-counties-amid-claims-potential-fraud

    “District attorneys and election officials in both Lancaster County and York County are looking into potential election-related fraud after authorities received large batches of voter registration materials from a “third-party organization.” Both York and Lancaster counties have more registered Republican voters than Democrats, according to state data, with York Republicans holding a 63% majority in the area and Lancaster Republicans at a 61% majority.”

    When you do a voter registration drive, you are legally obligated to submit all registrations, valid or not. The only entity with the legal authority to reject registrations as valid is the State Secretary of State office.

    This is because, back in the day, parties would do registration drives and just shit-can any registration for opposing parties.

    Now, even if some dumbass fills out a registration for “Mickey Mouse” or “Superman”, it STILL has to be submitted to the Secretary of State for rejection.

    That’s not “voter fraud”.

    • I had no idea about this but it makes perfect sense. Especially if it done in the days before the internet was common (like 80s or earlier) - then probably would have been a cumbersome and delay-filled process to verify you actually got registered.

      Thank you for your service on correcting misinformation!

    Next Tuesday is going to be fascinating because right now, there are two worlds in PA.

    1. District polls of PA-07, -08, and -10 suggesting either a 2020 redux or better.

    2. All those tied statewide polls.

    So, which one will be right? Or a little bit of both? One wonders.

    But, I think he knows he’s getting his ass kicked.
