Yup, under obama abortion numbers were down quite a bit for those very reasons.
Pennsylvania wouldn't be a slow slog to a Biden victory if they had been able to start counting mail-in ballots earlier; the results would have been baked in from the start.
I was told I was triggered and had TDS blah blah. Saw this coming for years.
You do realize he isn't defending you on your position, but explaining the reason you are being attacked. I figured this went over your head.
I never said they curtailed the mail. I said they made laws regarding when they were allowed to start counting the votes. Which they did.
When Pennsylvania approved so-called "no-excuse" absentee mail ballots last fall -- meaning any voter can request one without citing a reason -- the law didn’t allow officials to begin canvassing mail ballots until polls close on election night, according to Lisa Schaefer, the executive director of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania.
ABC News has reached out to each county – and has heard back from four. Election officials in Greene, Juniata, Mercer and Montour counties said they are focused on making sure in-person voting, complicated by coronavirus, works smoothly on Tuesday, and are focusing their limited resources on Election Day management. An official in Monroe County said workers there had already pre-canvassed, or prepared for scanning, the mail-in ballots received Tuesday but would not scan them until Wednesday.
According to Pennsylvania State Department data reviewed by ABC News, these counties account for over 180,000 of the requested mail-in ballots -- out of potentially 3,098,947 total requested ballots in Pennsylvania.
Some Pennsylvania Democrats are suspicious of the delayed timeline in the handful of counties, and worry that the delay could tie up those ballots in any post-election litigation over the results.
"There’s just no legitimate reason not to have it on election day," Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a Democrat, told ABC News.
“It’s obviously going to disproportionately impact Democratic turnout,” he added, pointed to Democrats’ overwhelming likelihood to vote by mail compared to Republicans.
If voters have mailed a naked ballot or fear their absentee or mail-in ballot was not counted or may not arrive, they can go to their polling place and request a provisional ballot instead. Deputy Secretary of State Jonathan Marks urged counties to analyze how many provisional ballots they may expect by cross-referencing the mail-in requests.
Why Pennsylvania is still counting votes after Election Day
Battleground Pennsylvania didn't start processing absentee ballots until Election Day morning -- a reason every vote there won't be counted until Friday at the earliest.

The legislatures had nothing to do IF votes are counted. The Orange Turd and his gang of munchkins tried to discourage vote by mail (at his expense).
It doesn't look like PA congress's attempt to gum up the works benefited the GOP.
The election is never decided on election night. Just projected. Wise people know you can't count 130 million votes in 14 hours.
