Do you have a source proving "democrats don't participate"? Because the actual fucking commonwealth of PA disagrees with you. In a June 30, 2023 annual report to the Pennsylvania General Assembly, the PA Department of State said:
"Through the SURE system, the county voter registration commissions maintain a complete list of all eligible registered voters in the Commonwealth. As of December 2022, there were 8,700,826 registered voters. The charts in this section represent a high-level snapshot of the change in voter registration over both the previous calendar year and the four-year period since the end of 2018. Details broken down by county and party can be found in Appendices A and B."
Pennsylvania Dept of State Press Release:
We are unclear as to exactly what data and what the legislators actually did to offer this socalled “analysis.” But what we do know is some counties have not yet finished entering into theSURE system what are called voter histories. Each history is tied to the record of the individualvoter who cast a ballot, including regular or provisional ballots. At the time of the legislators’release, these counties included Philadelphia, Allegheny, Butler and Cambria, which wouldaccount for a significant number of voters, and other provisional voter histories in a number ofother counties are also not yet complete. It is however the vote counts certified by the counties,not the uploading of voter histories into the SURE system, that determines the ultimate2certification of an election by the counties to the Department, and then in turn, by the secretarybased on the county certifications.
This obvious misinformation put forth by the Republican legislators is the hallmark of so many ofthe claims made about this year’s presidential election. When exposed to even the simplestexamination, courts at every level have found these and similar conspiratorial claims to bewholly without basis.To put it simply, this so-called analysis was based on incomplete and inaccurate data.
Finding Six: A combination of a lack of cooperation by certain county election offices and PennDOT, as well as source documents not being available for seventy percent of our test sample, resulted in our inability to form any conclusions as to the accuracy of the entire population of voter records maintained in the SURE system
Diamond expressed satisfaction with Anderson’s explanations of the counting and reconciliation process, the distinction between counting votes to determine a winner and seeing who voted for registration verification, and why updating SURE system data might be delayed.
“I understand that there is somewhat of a lagging nature of the SURE system,” he conceded. And, “I have always had great faith in the people of Lebanon County to count the votes accurately, and I’m not questioning that.”
Diamond had a specific concern about two county precincts where the difference between votes actually cast and the SURE total was unusually large.
Anderson said provisional ballots played a roll at these precincts. Provisional ballots are issued when a voter shows up to vote, but there is a question about his or her eligibility. The ballot is reviewed by the Board of Elections after election day, and either accepted and counted, or rejected.
Anderson explained that the two precincts cited by Diamond were newly split, and now had two polling places, where before there had been one. For example, the old Swatara Township precinct was now Swatara North and Swatara South. Instead of everyone voting at the township building, half still voted there, but half now voted at a fire company.
Some Swatara voters didn’t know this, and showed up where they voted in years gone by – at the township building – when they should have gone to the fire company. They were then given a provisional ballot and filled it out there, at the “wrong” polling place.
Those provisional ballots were ultimately approved and counted, but credited to the “wrong” polling place’s totals, because that’s where the provisional ballot was issued. As a result, the “wrong” polling place showed more votes cast than it had registered voters, but the total number of votes cast didn’t change.
Anderson added that often a voter will fill out a provisional ballot, but also mistakenly sign the poll book. So until the error is caught, there will be one less ballot than shown in the poll book totals.
He also said that, during the tedious two week process of manually scanning polls books and envelopes for SURE statistics, some ballots don’t scan, and a few manual errors are inadvertently made by overworked election workers.
In addition to having counted and reconciled every ballot cast in the Nov. 3, 2020 election, Anderson said that the county, along with 63 others, [ PA has 67 counties] is voluntarily participating in a statewide “risk limiting audit.”
However, the apparent reference to SURE (Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors) in Pennsylvania points to state data on the voting history of registered voters, which some large counties have not finished uploading yet.
“These counties, which include Philadelphia, Allegheny, Butler and Cambria, would account for a significant number of voters,” Murren told The Associated Press in an emailed statement. “The numbers certified by the counties, not the uploading of voter histories into the SURE system, determines the ultimate certification of an election by the secretary.”
- Yeah, but like the rest of Ms. Honey's blog, that page is a lot of bullshit
In the 2020 election, there were 90,000 more ballots than eligible voters in PA according to the SURE system. This is a fact.
- You are the last sad bastard to still believe that desperate lie.
