In Pennsylvania, the Department of State has allowed at least 249,000 unverified voters to receive mail-in ballots for the 2022 general election, owing to an odd process for verifying the identity of those requesting mail-in ballots, where people vote first and verify their identification later.
The Department of State also recently changed directives for county election boards, creating procedural confusion and drawing fire from 15 Pennsylvania House members in the form of a letter (pdf) demanding that the department immediately correct its guidance and tell counties they may not count the ballots of unverified voters until proof of ID is received.
And in Arizona, despite a federal judge Friday saying he will not bar 'ballot watchers' from monitoring outdoor ballot boxes in Maricopa County. Saying that activity could violate the monitors' constitutional rights.
However, Merrick Garland's Justice Dept. says ballot drop box monitoring in Ariz. is likely "illegal". The department said such “vigilante ballot security measures,” including filming voters at drop boxes, probably violates the federal Voting Rights Act, in other words Mules welcome..... come one come all
Really, watching someone in a public place is illegal now? The operative word being that is intimidation. I fail to see why a citizen voter dropping his or her single ballot in a box would be intimidating given the vigilante has no idea how they voted.
