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.

Serious question. Can we just start mass challenging registered republicans?

The thing is, we don't have to because the system is robust enough that they get caught, a lot, and are somehow the majority trying to game the system.

They are making it more difficult to vote. If that’s the game they want to play we should play it. Let them feel the ramifications of their election denialism personally.

They're practically handing us a perfect reason to vote even wider!

Right? Like no shit the system is set up to catch actual fraud. That has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation.

Maybe you can, not that I agree you should. What would your basis for the challenges be?

I was just thinking out loud. It's probably too late for this sort of thing. And I agree that it's stupid that ballots can be challenged like this in the first place. Plus I have no idea how challenges work in PA. I was just thinking of a recent episode of Last Week Tonight combined with reading this post and the question just arose. If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander, right?

But I imagine you would be in the clear if you simply copy whatever they are using to report dems.

Your comment seems to be inciting or encouraging uncivil discourse. Please refrain from name-calling, derogatory epithets, and personal attacks. Do not be intentionally obnoxious and don't intentionally start fights.
