After Sending Out 240,000 Unverified Ballots, Pennsylvania Now Warns Of 'Delays' Counting Midterm Votes​

Here we go again...

Just one day after 15 Pennsylvania House Republicans sent a letter to acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman demanding to know why 240,000 unverified ballots had been mailed out ("which, according to the law, must be set aside and not counted for the 2022 General Election unless the voter produces lD," the lawmakers wrote), Chapman revealed that there will likely be delays posting the results after the midterm elections.

"It's really important for us to get accurate information about the election process in Pennsylvania," Chapman said during a virtual conference, where she said it would likely take 'several days' to count and certify the votes.

"So voters and the public know that when there are delays in counting, it doesn’t mean that there’s anything nefarious happening. It’s just what the law is in Pennsylvania."

According to Chapman, the delays would be attributed to poll workers not being able to pre-canvas, or count mail-in ballots prior to election day.

She also encouraged voters to go ahead and send in their ballots, contrary to Republican messaging which urged voters to hold onto their mail-in ballots and turn them in to their local board of elections on election day - which Chapman said could (somehow) cause voters to become disenfranchised.

"We have heard that there’s messaging out there in Pennsylvania, as far as instructing voters to hold onto their mail-in ballots," she said, adding "As part of our voter education campaign, we encourage voters to request that mail-in ballot now and return it as soon as possible. We don’t want voters to delay."

Chapman took the opportunity to convey concerns she says stem from 'misinformation' - threats to interrupt voting and calls to delay the sending of mail-in ballots.
While she didn’t detail a specific incident, Chapman said there have been reports of threats aimed at the voting process throughout the state. She promised that her office has worked to investigate any threat made toward a free and fair election.
“Since I’ve been in office in January, we have constantly met with the FBI and Homeland Security just to talk through what the current threat landscape is and tools that we can give our counties to make sure that they have physical security protection as well as cyber security protection,” she said.
“So it’s been great to partner with both the federal and state law enforcement organizations. We are in constant communication with them and it’s a situation that we are monitoring,” Chapman added. -Lehigh Valley News

According to Chapman, over 1.2 million mail-in ballots have been requested across the state, and 43% - or 556,000, have been returned.
So does that mean that nearly 25% of mail-in ballots sent out were unverified?

Probably more like Fetterman will have won before you even go to bed that night. Why he hasn't conceded already is a sign of racism. Or ableism. Some kind of bigotry, I don't know.

Of course there will be delays.

Because, as you know, in 2022 America, our election system is so ironclad that the most technologically advanced society in world history, with electronic machines no less, is stuck with a slower vote count time than we had in the 1960s with all paper ballots and paper and pencil.

Ballot paper shortage could cause problems on Election Day​

A tight supply of paper has left little room for error.
By Nicole Moeder, Devin Dwyer, and Isabella Meneses October 27, 2022, 5:11 AM

PHOENIX -- A paper supply crunch is testing the preparedness of U.S. election officials and exposing a key vulnerability in America's democratic process as midterm voting gets underway.

The 2022 election cycle will use an estimated 30 million pounds of paper, according to industry experts. Soaring demand and a shortage of manufacturers during the pandemic have pinched national stockpiles, leaving little room for error.

"We're all just collectively crossing our fingers and hoping that the supply chain works just fine," said Ricky Hatch, county clerk and election administrator for Weber County, Utah.

The biggest concern is editing mistakes or last-minute changes to a local ballot requiring a large-scale reprint. "That's when the [shortage] could manifest itself," Hatch said.

ABC News got an inside look at one of the nation's largest ballot producers, Runbeck Election Systems in Phoenix, Arizona, which will deliver 50 million midterm ballots across 10 states -- consuming more than 5 million pounds of paper, according to the company.

Runbeck CEO Jeff Ellington said Defense Production Authorization was granted with help from the Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the Commerce Department has prioritized paper supply for the election.

"If we put an order in for paper and Amazon put an order in for paper, we're going to take precedence," Ellington said. "And that has helped just to make sure we would have what we need."

The global transition to digital and virtual work has led to plunging demand for white paper, forcing many paper mills across North America to shut down or convert to more profitable products, such as cardboard.

"I don't blame them for converting over, but it's a very real threat," Ellington said.

During the pandemic, many surviving paper mills stopped producing new paper and relied on their stockpiles to fulfill orders, experts said. Those have since dwindled. Mill workers and truck drivers have also been in short supply, adding strain on the paper supply chain.

Industry groups say paper production capacities are expected to remain tight potentially into 2023.

In a nationwide alert issued in January, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission warned state election officials of "unprecedented demand" for ballot paper, with "very long order lead times," and a risk that some "urgent last-minute orders" this year may not be fulfilled.

"We need to make sure that we're paying extra close attention to proofing of all materials, because if there was a typo or is a typo, your vendor might not be able to fill an emergency order in that way," said Amy Cohen, executive director of the National Association of State Election Directors.

With early voting underway in at least 34 states, so far there have only been isolated reports of trouble. In Arizona last week, the secretary of state discovered that 6,000 mail-in ballots that had been sent out were printed with major errors, requiring a second print -- and more paper.

In January, the paper shortage forced Texas officials to strictly limit printing of voter registration forms. And during Pennsylvania's May primary, two thirds of mail in ballots in Lancaster County were unreadable by scanner machines because of a printing mistake and had to be processed by hand.

The Election Assistance Commission told ABC News in a statement this month that the paper crunch "should not impact voting in the general election," so far.

"This is actually a good example of a success story," said Amber McReynolds, former director of elections in Denver, Colorado. "Largely there has been avoidance of a major crisis because of that coordination and that communication."

But experts caution, Election Day could still bring surprises, which may be especially consequential at a time when election integrity is already in the spotlight.

Hatch said "a definite risk" is underestimating voter turnout for mail-in and in-person voting when placing a ballot order. "Trying to gauge turnout is actually quite difficult," he said.

Hatch said "a definite risk" is underestimating voter turnout for mail-in and in-person voting when placing a ballot order. "Trying to gauge turnout is actually quite difficult," he said.

"The operational predictability is not as good," she continued. Election officials really "have to kind of guess really at how many voters might vote that way, and then they have to place orders."

Although rare, underestimates have happened. During the 2022 Massachusetts primary, a town-wide ballot shortage in Marblehead forced election officials to photocopy ballots, which could not be run through voting machines and had to be counted by hand.

"It's not realistic to think that the problem is solved. It's not," Cohen said. "The ballot printing vendors have already made it clear to us that this is going to be a persistent problem and something that we need to be thinking about for 2024."

Nope, nothing nefarious here. Nope. Looks like Fetterman will be appointed. I wonder if he'll know. Kinda like old Joe. Maybe they can eat ice cream together.

and I'll guess that you willingly accept the "official narrative" from MSM/ministry of propaganda that there were no agent provocateurs involved and that event and the treatment afforded those unfortunate enough to be caught up in that obviously orchestrated event is OK and on par with other similar things - such as the ATIFA and BLM events of the summer of 20.

not even board games are won on the opening move my friend.

Of course not. But to say that the big steal was unchallenged is completely wrong. People went to jail doing just that. Spare a thought for them in your indictment against literally everybody else, huh?

what I'm speaking of is the willingness of the vast majority to accept what continues to progress essentially unchallenged from sea to shining sea. should this midterm be stolen, as 2020 was obviously stolen - in YOUR opinion - what should be done about it? how should it be addressed? no "indictment against anybody" in any of that. simply a reasonable question to ask based on observation of past realities.

sure sounds like an indictment. A large-scale one. Who failed to challenge? Who ignored? These are the parts of your statement that I directly dispute.

As for what to do about a stolen midterm, well, honestly, I have no idea. The problem is large in scale and bizarre in scope. When in the United States' entire history has an election been stolen, before 2020? What was done THEN?

we're engaged in a circular argument here. the election of 20 WAS stolen. LITTLE came of it. the people who did attend the J6 rally were railroaded. much has been said regarding the presence of agent provocateurs. the answer to Who is simple: there are agencies legally and constitutionally tasked with the responsibility to investigate issues such as these. those agencies were complicit in the steal. ample evidence existed - ranging from eyewitness testimony to video. subpoenas were issued. they were ignored. Who are those who willingly accept the unacceptable as well as those who worked to perpetuate/facilitate the steal. if thats a "large scale indictment" then so be it.

truth told we don't really know do we? some would argue - Al Gore in particular - that it goes all the way back to the "hanging chads" in Florida. still others would point to Obama's second term. seems that you and I have very little common ground on which we can agree. I would think that even you would have difficulty DIS agreeing that the election was stolen and NOTHING came of it outside of the ongoing demonization of those who attempted to stand against it. I would also think that you'd agree those folks - right or wrong in their actions - were not treated in the fashion that other groups mentioned above were. most are pretty tired of the justUS system. for how much longer can we continue to accept that and not tear ourselves apart?

...all of that is perfectly believable.

Most of my objection stemmed from the idea that no one took a stand against this. There was a whole crowd in DC that did just that, and it hardly stopped there.

I'm oversensitive to the notion that we're not "fighting back" or "standing up" or anything like that because the streets haven't yet run red with the blood of traitors and tyrants. I've heard it too often, like as not, so I instinctively move against it when I hear it again.

You're certainly right that all the conventional responses were useless. These days, they tend to be. We call our congresscritter, no one cares. We petition, no one cares. We stage marches, no one cares. Three out of four boxes have shown themselves either tainted or useless.

Now we're left staring at that fourth box and wondering how things came to this.

It’s called priming the chute for the steal. Prove them wrong. They won the last attemps to shed light on their destruction of America and so called “SAFE” voting system.

Dominion was proved hacked days before the election and files deleted after, particularly before an election audit. How’d that happen on such a “SAFE“ election system. That doesn’t include the drop boxes that this post addresses. Mules transporting huge amounts of ballots to a number of different ballot boxes … and being paid to do so.

Whoever they want to win … WILL. WE JUST HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE FOR US.

interesting . . . a flash of realization - for me. your statements clarify what seems to have been difficult for you and I (and many others here) to resolve between ourselves. specifically that we've viewed the exact same issue from perspectives 180 out of phase. CLEARLY you might say - but its actually deeper than that. by way of explanation:

your (groups) view is that it CAN'T COME from here where my (groups) view is that's all we've left ourselves at this point - simply becasue we've acquiesced for so long.

if we were to look in the somewhat distant past - myself and others here have made the analogy/observation (and at this point it clearly seems to have been correct) - that its not only MUCH cheaper and INFINITELY easier - to stop and look at the car when the idiot light first comes on at the dash rather than continuing to drive along until the engine blows.

the frustration arises for members of each of these groups in those (seemingly) opposing camps when in actuality we've BOTH realized that NOT having done something sooner now puts us at significantly greater risk for the unthinkable to occur. this is not unlike suddenly realizing that the time to put back rice and beans has come and gone . . . you can certainly STILL DO THAT - but the cost and difficulty in acquiring your "preps" - has now become significantly greater or - perhaps, impossible. add to that equation the presence (of some of) humanity's natural tendency to procrastinate and deny, and the opposing views (of some others) that there's no time like the present, and we end up where those on one side and those on the other - currently find ourselves. in disagreement.

there's yet ANOTHER set of factors in this equation. consider biblical perspective. both groups will contain believers. each group can reconcile - and easily reconcile from THEIR PERSPECTIVE - scriptural reasons for pursing specific courses of either inaction or action - "while the objective MIGHT possibly STILL be achieved - if we'd simply and finally ACT.

in final analysis it seems that where the TRULY common ground lies in EACH of the groups is their JOINT fear that we have now arrived - or are about to arrive at the feared and unthinkable, SIMPLY BECAUSE we've not acted AT ALL. now consider that one group feels that the other WANTS the unthinkable (when it factually does NOT) and the other group fears that WHEN the unthinkable DOES ultimately arrive the opposing group will continue to acquiesce. each "blames" the other for the resulting unhappiness

an interesting conundrum - and a growing divide. perfect set up for the enemy. as has also been said in the past - if one looks at the tone and volume of the language over the past 24-36 MONTHS it clearly suggests that steadily increasing numbers of individuals are moving TO the viewpoint that its "time to act"

which brings us back to the original discussion - WHAT SHALL WE DO? asked yet again becasue every trip begins with the first step and every journey IS a series of individual "steps" - best planned BEFORE they are made. remember the suggestion to become WE? the ALL INCLUSIVE kind of WE? what about the corresponding statements that was the way to AVOID what nobody wants? when there is hesitancy or INABILITY to do even that it should be easy to see where the frustration truly lies.

Whistleblower: FBI Election-Meddles Again By Targeting Info Democrats Don’t Like Under ‘Election Crimes’

After the FBI interfered in the 2016 presidential election through Russia hoaxing and the 2020 presidential election by suppressing the legitimate Hunter Biden laptop story, it looks like the notoriously corrupt federal agency is election meddling again ahead of the 2022 midterms. An FBI whistleblower alleged in a leaked document that the FBI lists “misinformation” as a potential “election crime,” Project Veritas reported on Thursday.

The document, titled “2022 Midterm Elections Social Media Analysis Cheat Sheet,” also lists “disinformation” as a potential election crime, describing it as “false or inaccurate information intended to mislead others,” including “Disinformation campaigns on social media,” which it describes as something “used to deliberately confuse, trick, or upset the public.”

Surely criminalizing "mistakenly or unintentionally" spreading "false or misleading" information won't have a chilling effect on free speech? Are you kidding? This is complete B.S.

Thank Obama for this.

Fox10 in Phoenix—Kari Lake’s former station—just displayed a graphic showing Katie Hobbs won the Arizona governor’s race 12 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION

Katie Hobbs (D) 1252437 - 53%
Kari Lake (R) 1102326 - 47%

It’s so odd that those numbers are there. It’s very specific. A test wouldn’t have that. It’s like these are the fake results they plan to release in 12 days but accidentally released it early.

There it is folks, the fix is in

it wasn't that they "called the election" prior to the polls closing . . . rather it was the ECSTATIC EXPRESSIONS on the faces of the "news team" (spit) when they did so.
