Average deadline isn't going to help you; you're better off checking the school districts in the areas you're wanting. Decently realistic that with 500 SDs in PA, the average is going to be a lot later than the 3 you're looking at, so you'd just be screwing yourself over.

Check the list of IDs accepted (you only need one of them). One of them is "A valid Pennsylvania 15-day temporary internet driver license or identification card renewal credential and expired DL/ID."

I also just noticed you said you already ordered the camera card from PA. If you did it through the mail you'll be waiting a few weeks if it's just been two. I'd call your state rep and ask them if they're able to expedite its delivery; they often can speed things up if you ask.

Otherwise, if you're doing it through the mail, 6 weeks is about average.

If you never got a NJ license and your PA one is less than 30 days, you can try to renew online. You'll get a temp card you print out and carry with you until you get the new camera card and go to your PennDOT office to get the actual card.

If you got a NJ license then your PA one would have been invalidated; you can still try online but they might request additional information and/or you might have to go take the vision test and all again. In any case, they'll tell you when you try online.

And your DL number will stick with you for your entire life, the one on your expired card is the one you use. It'll be that number on your updated DL too, they stick with individuals for life, you're never assigned a new one.

Kind of the same with your car. You're supposed to transfer it after you move (I don't know the timeframe for NJ) but if you didn't then you'd still be on the list for Pennsylvania. Again, I'd try renewing online and see if that does it. Transferring a car across state lines is more difficult than a DL and you'll probably have to pay transfer tax / get a notary / other kinds of painful stuff.

I know of easily 20 people in the same situation, their defense was that they didn't know about the law.

If you challenge it and go in front of a magistrate, usually the response I've heard is that not knowing isn't their problem, it's your responsibility to know, and the law is to enable safety for law enforcement and emergency professionals so it should be a lesson. 100% of them failed in getting anything reduced. One of them got thrown into jail overnight for escalating things and screaming at both the cop and magistrate at the hearing, so don't do that.

You definitely can try and if you get a sympathetic judge they might agree with you. I'm sure it's happened to some people who went that route. My anecdotal stories don't mean you'd be in the same boat.

You'd need to check with whatever township it's in. Like here's East Bradford's policy.

If it's on public property you could always report your neighbor for littering; take a picture or it'd be a he-said-she-said situation though and probably would only end up in hard feelings for both of you and police grumbling about it being something they can't do anything about without hard proof.

It's not a fair trial for the jury; it's a fair trial for the accused. You're obligated as a member of society to participate, and (supposedly) every class / race / orientation / ideology is required to participate.

That's how things work. Everything else in your post honestly is just complaining. We don't do jury duty for the benefit of the jury, we do it to keep a civil society.

You can contact your county election office. Since ballots aren't opened until Election Day, they'd have it marked as received or not, but not much else. It's legal and standard for the election office to tell voters if their ballot was received or not, and she can ask if the printing error disqualifies her ballot.

Her vote definitely isn't lost, you might have to do a few phone calls to confirm and fix but it's not all that difficult.

Good luck.
