Trump administration asks Washington state to hold more than 400 people’s ballots

The Justice Department has claimed the individuals may not be eligible to vote, weeks after making a similar request in California.

Good morning Pennsylvania! TODAY is the last day to request your mail-in ballot. Make sure you get to your county elections office by 5 PM or apply online so you don’t miss your opportunity. And don’t mail it back! Use a dropbox or return it in person.

Making my notes for this now, so if there could be no more federal rulings in the next 24 hours that would be great. Come meet our team!

Ballots are starting to arrive in mailboxes around the state. I put together this spreadsheet comparing 2026 with 2022 and 2024 — broken down by party, county, state House, state Senate, and congressional districts — which I'll be updating M-F between now and Nov. 3. Link👇

NEW: Scott Presler allowed multiple out of state GOP operatives to use his home in Pennsylvania to vote in the '24 election. Those operatives then left the state. Election lawyers say this could be in violation of PA voting laws. via @BrendanHartnett thebulwark.com/p/gop-operati…

A western PA county mistakenly sent 157 duplicate mail ballots to voter, but gave assurances only one will be counted per voter.

Some Pennsylvania voters received multiple mail ballots

Even though some voters received multiple ballots, the state says only one ballot per person will be counted.

I'd like to tell you a story about Michigan's elections that started in 2020 — maybe even earlier — and continues on to today. This is the story of Antrim County Clerk Victoria Bishop.

At an election science conference I went to in June, a panel was lit up by claims that USPS delays in primaries were causing more ballots to arrive late. Someone asked: Has anyone done research yet to see if USPS changes are tied to ballot rejections? So @propublica did. 🧵

A cautionary tale for voters in postmark states who mail their absentee ballots on Election Day: kgw.com/article/news/politic…

We mailed 100 letters across Oregon. Only 14 were postmarked same day. Why that matters for your...

A KGW investigation found most letters were postmarked a day or two after mailing, raising questions about what could happen to ballots mailed on Election Day.

Earlier today, it was an honor to join President Commissioner Julie Wheeler in inducting 80 @yorkcountypa voters into the PA Voter Hall of Fame. These great Americans voted in every November election for at least 50 consecutive years. They are true role models of civic virtue.
