Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sun Aug 25 12:06:38 2019 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Comparatively tight deadlines for absentee ballots mean Pennsylvania’s mail-in votes arrive too late to be counted far more often than the national average, a newspaper reported Friday.The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that 4.2% of the state's absentee ballots got to voting offices after the deadline to be counted in the November 2018 election, compared with less than 1% nationally. The newspaper cites data from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission that ranks Pennsylvania second in the rate of missed-deadline rejections, behind only Delaware. Pennsylvania's voters submitted 187,000 absentee ballots in last year's general election and 8,700 were rejected, the great majority for missing a deadline. The Inquirer said the self-reported commission figures apparently undercounted the number of Pennsylvania's late ballots by at least 1,400. Bucks County had hundreds of late ballots, but the recommission reported it as having none, as was the case for Allegheny County. Philadelphia had more than 1,000 late ballots, but was listed as having 378. Counts for other Pennsylvania counties appeared to be accurate. Pennsylvania voters cast just 0.6% of the total absentee ballots submitted nationwide last fall, but the state accounted for 7.2% of all late absentee ballots. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2019/07/pa-absentee-ballot-rules-mean-many-arrive-too-late-to-be-counted-critics-seek-change.html |
