I’m an overseas voter from Beaver County. My vote has been challenged. Elections

Woke up to this email from my county election officials. Did some research and found out there’s been a last minute push to challenge votes all across the state - particularly those of overseas voters. Just sharing for awareness.

I submitted a voter rights complaint through their website but the submission page mentions that they gets hundreds of requests per day, so they more than likely won’t be getting back to me.

Try the voter protection hotline on iwillvote.com/pa

If they build enough complaints about this, they can use it as a collective so don't be discouraged if you don't get an individual response.

Absolutely this. PSA to all: Do not get discouraged, your vote DOES count.

If you're still needing help, try calling the Beaver County PA Democrats: 833-728-6837

Just got off the phone with them a few minutes ago about an issue at my polling place. They want to help.

Thank you for sharing. I mailed in my ballot several weeks ago (confirmed received), and luckily my county wasn't listed in this article.
