Mine said that too. I think it refers to the normal mail in ballot, doesn't mean YOU are unverified. You can call them to make sure.

Only 2 words matter here:

“Vote recorded”

[deleted]

All PA voters who are inconvenienced or ticked off by the incorrect indication should send a sweet note to Rep. Frankie Fucknuts of LebCo Dist 101.

Huh. My record just says “Mail-In” under Ballot Type. Then again, I applied for the ballot via hard copy in-person (I did the “in-person mail-in” ballot thing at the courthouse and delivered the ballot in-person). As u/Pf18929 says, “Vote Recorded” doesn’t mean “counted.” It just means received.

Call to be on the safe side. Centre County won’t be too busy I think.

Unfortunately, that’s not the same as “vote counted” … it just means “ballot received.” I’d call just in case.

Ugh wtf? Mine says this too? I never got anything in the mail that said I had to verify my ID again! I'm going to call tomorrow to find out.

They can’t start tabulating votes from mail-in ballots until Election Day.

Crazy they don’t have a hover or some shit that explains what it means

The great thing about voting in person, you don’t need to worry if your vote went through or not. VOTE IN PERSON!

Or I could vote by mail in, like your republican friends voted for, brought into law…celebrated as a win for the party…and then tried to repeal it because they found out it’s not a good strategy when more people vote.

Right? Mine also says it and I won’t be able to vote provisionally tomorrow. How do I get my ID verified? I can’t find that information online.

>In Pennsylvania, those applying for mail-in or absentee ballots must provide proof of identification — such as providing state driver’s license information or the last four digits of their Social Security Number.
In some cases, a voter’s identifying information is automatically verified. For example, if they supply their driver’s license number with an online ballot application, the system automatically cross-references it with Pennsylvania Department of Transportation data, acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman wrote in a Friday response letter to the Republican lawmakers.
However, in other cases, the voter’s identifying information must go through further verification processes. When that happens, the application enters the statewide system under a designation labeled “NV,” or “not verified.”
Notably, the “not verified” designation doesn’t mean the voter didn’t provide accurate identification information, nor does it mean their ID wasn’t later verified.

> The applications are marked “not verified” or “NV” if a voter’s identity couldn’t immediately be verified or if the application needs to be verified again before the ballot can be approved, according to a statement sent to us by Amy Gulli, communications director for the Pennsylvania Department of State.

>“For example, a ballot application would be marked with NV if it is a new application that comes in and the provided ID was not able to be immediately verified,” the press release said. “Or, for another example, a ballot application would be marked as NV if it is from a voter on the permanent mail-in or absentee list who requested a mail ballot for both the primary and general elections, and their ID needs to be verified again for the general election.”

You probably applied for a mail-in ballot online before the primary. Mine has the same verbiage. You can call your county Board of Elections to confirm. I think it is just confusing wording. "Ballot recieved" having a date, and "Vote Recorded" is what matters.

They can't even open the envelopes until 7AM on election day

Hilarious because Republicans have always been against mass mail in voting. It was your democrat friends who voted for it. I love how you libs try to twist the truth to fit your narrative.

Even Mastriano voted in the affirmative for SB421 -Act 77

It’s a shame voting records are public record, or you might of been able to own a lib today.

You gotta pay eight dollars

How do I know when I push it in the voting machine in person, it's recorded?

Facts are not your friend are they, buckwheat?

Pa Senate voted 35 to 14. 28 Republicans and 7 Democrats voted Yes. 14 Democrats voted no and not a single Republican voted No.

Pa House voted 138 to 61. 105 Republicans and 33 Democrats voted Yes. 59 Democrats and 2 Republicans voted no.

Overwhelming passed by Republicans

If you could only learn to read and comprehend, it was a vote against mass mail in voting. I get it, you lefties really do lack the intelligence to understand critical thinking.

Looks okay to me. I don't get it.

You don't need to take any action. The election workers will verify.

All this hubbub is caused by PA election laws being cumbersome. If we reformed out laws to be more like Florida (which, apparently, has their stuff together here) it would be so much smoother.

Of course, there's one party that doesn't want this process to get any smoother, so without a big swing towards the Dems, we get to keep this quirky system.

As long as you signed and dated your outer envelope, included the secrecy envelope and didn't mark it, you should be fine. (Yes, that's a lot of ifs, many of them unnecessary hoops to jump through. That's what we've got.)

Update: Called the election clerk office and wasn’t able to provide additional details as to why it displays not verified besides the normal items, didn’t use ss# or dl#, secrecy envelope, all things we have done already. She told me to go to my local polling office and fill a provisional. CHECK YOUR MAIL IN STATUS

Edit: added more context to what clerk told me

Actually when the polls close.

Thank you. This whole thing has my anxiety peaking.

This morning, I contacted my election office (York) and was told "not verified" just means an additional step needs to be taken to ensure the signature or SSN matches, and my vote will be recorded. I've also seen this echoed by a Democratic group, and a recent AP article also suggests the same.

In past elections, I haven't seen this "not verified" message, so my guess is the powers-that-be are pushing to REALLY MAKE SURE no "fraud" is occurring.

Edit: AP link is the same as posted by u/k3hvn earlier. Apologies for duplicating info.

Does that mean we the voter need to take a This additional step?

I understand there have been quite a number of issues with mail in ballots this year.

No. It's something the county does on their end -- they check the signature and/or the SSN on the envelope with what they have on file to ensure it matches. From what I understand, if an issue does arise, they contact the voter via email.

Ok ya I just found something else stating the same thing you just said. My God, they really do try and make this as confusing as possible don't they?

My election clerk office said they had my ballot and to not worry about the online status of “not verified” because it’s a clerical error on the side of the state. This is rather confusing.

After all the complaints and legal ratfucking the republicans did last election, I swear to only vote in person. I know it's a luxury, but the way the courts in this state are stacked, they would happily disenfranchise every mail in vote two days before the ballot with no recourse for the public.

This is the response I received as well.

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate it.

Yeah, I might switch to in-person voting in the spring. But you’re right, it’s not something everyone can afford to do.

No, when the polls open.

Called Montgomery County office about this. This will show up if...

1. You requested the Annual Mail-in option ahead of the Primaries.

2. There was an actual issue with your verification for you ballot.

MontCo voter office has a list if you call in and can verify if you need to take any further steps with your mail-in ballot.
