In case you're wondering why I've left this site, while it came months later, it certainly didn't help that Twitter HQ has decided that it's totally okay to describe one of my legal analysis posts as "Jews doing jewish things." Find me on Bluesky.

Chester County Voter Services is working to get supplemental poll books to every polling place. Until that time, any registered voter who is not listed in the pollbook can vote provisionally.

At some point the opposition needs to say what is happening here: Donald Trump is a tyrant in the full sense of the term, an American fascist dictator who believes the law flows directly from his command. And he is also an unwell, unfit, and criminal man with nonsensical whims

I still have a lot of friends and acquaintances on this platform who were I-don't-like-Trump-but-I-can't-elect-Harris-so-I'm-hoping-for-the-best, and this repeated assault on the rule of law from Musk (who has been ceded more power than anyone imagined) has to be horrifying them.

Awful experience with @thriftycars at TPA today. Reserved w/Manager's Special, only to learn that only allowed for EVs & no gas-fueled cars. We are pro-EV, but have no idea what charging abilities are while traveling, esp. with no notice. Next best option 2x $. Bait-and-switch.

NEW: The RNC is asking the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to block the counting of undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots in last week's election. The DSCC and Sen. Bob Casey's campaign are intervening to argue that the ballots should be counted.

Thank you so much for volunteering for our voter protection team. And Andrea is amazing. We need to fight *for* every voter because Team McCormick is fighting against as many as they can.

.@AndyKroll has some shocking footage from a Trump poll observer training in Pennsylvania, because their election integrity staffer explained to their supporters ... the truth, that non-citizens can't register to vote, and won't be showing up to vote. https://t.co/6K2uccjEAQ

Sigh. So much misinfo again today. No one is trying to count votes from unregistered people. This is categorically false. What’s actually happening is the GOP is trying to throw out timely cast votes from registered voters. Again. https://t.co/qYsJXKK9WY

Yo, Philly — there’s one day left to verify your ID if you turned in a mail ballot and are on this list: https://t.co/yuEhW06fA5. If you voted in-person on the voting machines, you do not need to send us your identification. #PhillyVotes

As a veteran of this process, let me clarify because I've seen some wrong takes on what Seth said: "need to be adjudicated" means just that—the staff sets aside certain issues for a Board vote. At that point, many will be approved for counting. Don't confuse "may" with "will."

We have now scanned 6,601 provisional ballots out of the original estimated 20K. We’ve completed the initial review of an additional ~12K ballots. Of those, ~9K will need to be adjudicated by the Board of Elections and may not count.
