Of course.

Democrats skew younger and tend to be employed and/or raising families. We don't have time to wait in line to vote. We're voting by mail.

I don't think I've ever waited in any appreciable line to vote in Pittsburgh

I think my longest wait was 15 minutes once. And I live off of Penn Ave and I can see Children's Hospital from my porch - so it's not like I'm in the outskirts of the city.

We also ignore the Republican bullshit around vote by mail. If I believed those fraud claims, I'd vote in person too.

Weirdly, before the Right lost its collective mind on vote by mail, I think it skewed Republican.

Honestly, because the right lost its collective mind on vote by mail, I'm no longer voting by mail. It feels like they're looking for any reason to discard mail-in ballots, so I want to be there when my vote is cast to ensure minimal fuckery with my ballot.

I’ve had the same thought. But between living in Allegheny County and being able to confirm that my ballot was accepted, I’m pretty confident I won’t be disenfranchised this election. But next election (assuming we have one), so may be less confident.

At least it looks like Mastriano won’t be able to fuck things up from the governor’s mansion

Have you confirmed that your ballot is good? Because this just dropped, too. Apparently a bunch of non-dated or incorrectly dated ballots which will now require in-person curing.

Thank you for sharing - I’m good.

For anyone reading, this is a link with names of Allegheny County residents who made a mistake completing a mail in ballot

Same. I know there are the online checks etc but I don’t trust the right when it comes to voting. In person seems to be the safest and most reliable method
