Top Pennsylvania Election Official: Expect Ballot Counting to Take Several Days Again This Year

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt told reporters to expect several days to process and count the ballots again this year.

He told the far-left Washington Post that it would take days to decide the election in Pennsylvania.

“But, unlike most other states red and blue alike, we cannot begin our counties cannot begin processing mail-in ballots before seven AM on election morning,” he said.

“Plenty of other states, again Republican states like Florida and others allow this process to begin in advance and what that means is in those states you know the mail vote by around midnight on election night except for the ones that maybe came in that day or that evening,” he continued.

“That’s not the case in Pennsylvania because the process cannot begin until seven AM on election morning,” he added.

“And it is acutely frustrating to have a technical problem with a technical solution that is nonpartisan, nonpolitical and does not benefit any candidate or any party and have Pennsylvania go through this in 2020 and that issue having not been addressed in the last four years by our legislature… Meaning that it can happen again,” Schmidt said.
