What do you mean? Ops address was challenged, the book was covered to prevent fraud, op answered the challenge and nothing further was needed from the election official. I’m not sure what part of that you’re not understanding.

Are you not understanding why the election official would ask for name and address?

Are you not understanding why that official covered the book?

Do you not understand what a challenge is in this context?

Help me understand what you think is wrong and I’ll explain how it was perfectly legal and correct.

No it’s perfectly legal. Op post states he was being challenged, address check is a challenge, which is legal and correct.

Can my right to vote be challenged?

Yes, but only for certain reasons and by certain people. An election official, poll watcher, or other voter may only challenge a voter on the grounds that the voter does not live in the precinct or the voter is not the person the voter says he or she is.

The voter may still vote normally by signing a challenge affidavit and producing a witness to vouch for him or her. Call the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) if you need assistance.

hey look I used the internet to find what I was looking for

I don’t live in Philly but have been there a few times. I don’t know enough about it. But in my town when the chain groceries came in everything else died. And it was Weis and Wegmanns. Not bad stores either it just crushed any competition. Virtually the same as Walmart and small shops. Impossible to compete.

Dudes bringing up a good point, that closing these stores will make it harder for people near those closed stores will have a harder time finding food. Which is mostly true, I’m sure some people did use it as their primary food resource. But your understanding of a food desert is flawed. I wouldn’t say restaurants are something that doesn’t make a food desert. Take for example a small town, pop less than 1,000. 2 stores in town for over 15 mi any direction. The two stores? 1 gas station/store/subway and 1 family pizza joint. Sure at both places you could spend five times as much as the ingredients would be more the same meal, but that’s also traveling the 15 miles. You could eat but at a premium. Neither of those places could you buy everything you would need to make basic meals and 2 use EBT. You can use EBT at a gas station but not for prepared/hot food. That’s a good desert but it has a “Wawa” and it has a restaurant. Do you understand what a food desert is now? You are probably closer to one than you think. I live in one myself I just have the ability and resources to drive that far to get food.

Because he’s suggesting replacing these type of stores with a government commissary. I don’t agree with it but that’s what the guy was saying. Really what’s missing is the small time grocers. There used to be one a block or two away from where I grew up. But they’re gone or became something else that made more money.

I went ahead and did some research, the mountain lion federation (MLF not Milf) says there are no population known of mountain lions east of the Rockies minus a small endangered pop in Florida. Wildlife informer goes both ways stating there is not any mountain lions in pa but there have been sightings. PSU explicitly says No cougars in PA. I swear I’ve seen the yellow of a mountain lion. I do not believe there is a significant population. In my neck of the woods it’s sparsely populated with a lot of woods and open unused land I’ve seen plenty of bob cats. Only ever thought I’ve seen a mountain lion a few times. They have lived here before and there is a claim that the last one was killed in the late 1800s but how is somebody in 1870-90 going to be able to verify that claim. I think they went the way of the wolf, virtually becoming something different. Like wolf and “eastern coyote” which I know exists I’ve seen it kill family members chickens that roamed their yard.

County? I can give you some numbers for direct contact depending on county. Side note call CCBH and move through them, if you have state insurance they are the mental/behavioral arm of state insurance. You can bypass cys this way and get a social worker to check in with them in a way cys would not.
