Reply to Jan. 6 rioter who filmed Pelosi laptop theft jailed after jury convicts her on 6 counts by imll99
>Her defense attorney conceded to the jury that Williams was guilty of two misdemeanor charges she faced, but argued that she did not assist in the theft of Pelosi’s laptop by verbally urging others to take the laptop and telling a man to use gloves when he handled it.
Disgusting that the jury deadlocked on this charge.

Which are you referencing? Because if you mean Karen Smith she has since switched parties and is a vocal advocate for inclusion.

We do need to flip both the chair and vice chair who are both up for reelection.

Ok fine, but if you are either Cappelleti (17th) or Collett (12th) I could see why you might get included in a robocall promoting a community service given the districts touch. Probably easier to get lower Montco phone lists than township specific ones.
Point is, not a big deal. Just delete the VM and move on with your life?

You're in Montco. His district covers parts of Montco including Whitemarsh, Conshohocken, and Upper Dublin. Where in Montco are you?

Yeah elected officials doing their job informing their constituents about free services provided by their democratically elected government are the worst

The scary thing is that the one vote in this case may not just decide one race, but which party controls the state house for the first time in 12 years

You probably applied for a mail-in ballot online before the primary. Mine has the same verbiage. You can call your county Board of Elections to confirm. I think it is just confusing wording. "Ballot recieved" having a date, and "Vote Recorded" is what matters.
orangesfwr t1_ivibf9y wrote
I'm sorry but if the voter is a "plane ride away" there is nothing you can do at this point. It is way too late to be trying to resolve this. The time to register to request an absentee or mail-in ballot was sometime prior to October 1st. The time to question why you hadn't recieved it yet was sometime before Oct 14th. The time to make plans to return home and vote "on demand" at the Board of Elections was before Nov 2nd.
It is Nov 7th. Polls close less than 24 hours from now. Unless the voter can hop on a plane, the voter is not going to be able to vote.
Please plan much further ahead next time. This is why the messaging for voting starts over the summer.

If you don't have it by now it's too late. As mentioned, you can look up your county's board of election website and find out their hours for voting "on demand" in person prior to election day (limited options left, probably just Monday).
If your ballot does arrive, you will want to complete it ASAP and take it to a drop box - not put it in the mail, as a postmark is insufficient. It must be received at the Board of Elections no later than 8pm on election day.
Other option is to vote in person on election day. If you get your ballot in the mail beforehand, bring it with you. The judge of elections will spoil it and you'll vote in person as usual. If you don't have it, ask to vote provisionally. That means your ballot will be segregated and will only be counted after they confirm that you did not vote by mail. Insist on voting provisionally if you are told you cannot. Anyone and everyone can vote provisionally in these situations. However, best to not vote provisionally if you can avoid it because there is a high standard for the BoE to accept a provisional ballot to prevent people from voting more than once.

>Shapiro has reported $44 million in spending, including in-kind contributions, eclipsing the 2001-02 campaign spending record set by Democrat Ed Rendell of just under $42 million. He still has weeks left to add to that total.
>Mastriano, in turn, has reported spending of less than $3 million. Shapiro reported having $11 million still in the bank; Mastriano reported $2.6 million.
>Mastriano said Friday that he has not seen a dime of aid from the GOP’s counterpart organization, a frequent gripe of his.
You can thank Dick Uihlein for the sign money: >His biggest donor is the Midwest shipping supply magnate Dick Uihlein and his wife, who are large contributors to conservative causes and gave Mastriano $1 million.

You aren't seeing Mastriano ads because the guy is so bad he can't raise money. Even the right leaning Super PAC hit pieces against Fetterman are basically saying "Shapiro is ok but Fetterman is a far left wacko!!" because they know Shapiro will win and want to get people to "feel good" about being Shapiro/Oz voters.
Just visit their websites for their platforms and priorities.

Interest Rates have been artificially low for nearly 15 years. The strength of the economy over the last two years is the only thing allowing interest rates to go back to "normal" so aggressively.
There was a time that a 7% mortgage would be considered amazing for the buyer.
With any economic measure some will consider it a good thing and others will consider it a bad thing.
The stock market is down this year, but it was also up 10 of the preceding 13 years, with two of those 3 other years being essentially flat. Historically, that's an anomaly.

Can also do vote on Demand at Board of Elections office in your county. It is essentially voting by mail, in person, early.
