#1 They only have so many fingers and toes to add up the totals on.

#2 It takes time to steam open envelops and replace 'wrong' ballots with 'corrected' ones before validating them.

#3 How can it take longer to count 5 postal ballots than 5 DoE ballots?

Just hire one person extra to open the letters.

#4 The election bureau is a county level operation. Something's fishy if the mayor has any insight into their operations at all...

#7 ILLEGAL campaigning INSIDE of a polling location in Philly. Man in blue is handing out DEM literature to voters IN LINE TO VOTE. This is why DEMS are keeping TRUMP WATCHERS OUT. They are STEALING it! This needs to STOP!

#8 Beavis, historically they drive vans around and gather up potential voters, hand them a filled-out sample ballot and 'car money' (typically $5) and drop them at the polls.

#10 #8, these days a pack of cigs or a short dog costs more than $5, even if you are buying in bulk.

#12 Thats why the margin in the western PA need to be huge. Time for the mountain folk of western PA to rise to the occasion. And with 2-3+ hours of waiting in very long lines, it looks like the turnout is massive in those Republican areas, while its "walk up no waiting" in Philly.

There will be a day where the West fails, BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY!

#13 ^ In PeeAye it's called the T. The northern half of the state and a stripe down the middle, shaped like a T. It's rural and conservative, but lots of it is sparsely populated. If you could give Philthy to New jersey and Pissburgh to Ohio (not that either would want them) PA would be as red as Texas.
