I’ve worked in and around this beautiful building for a decade now, and I still look up every single time I walk into the Rotunda. Absolutely spectacular building - they just don’t make them like this anymore!

Call your local state representative or senator’s office - there are staff there whose job is to help you get any state government issues addressed. You can find yours here: https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator/index.cfm?mobile_choice=suppress

Great summary. I’ll add that I know Leader McClinton to be a studious attorney, so this is not a move she would make without being completely sure that legal precedent is on her side. It’s going to be a very interesting few months while this gets sorted out!

Lisa works for Scott Martin, a State Senator for Southern Lancaster County. You’re going to want to contact your state senator’s local office (not Harrisburg). If you don’t know who that is, you can search by your address here: https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator/index.cfm?mobile_choice=suppress

Reply to comment by FreidasBoss in What is the State/County law for political signs and their removal? by Hi_There_Face_Here
Yep, local zoning codes control here. Some have been changing because zoning and code officers who have to enforce the rules have been threatened by people when asked to take down their signs, sadly.

Today begins the official canvass in each county, where they verify the vote tallies of every precinct, reconcile provisional ballots, and add any overseas and military ballots they’ve received. That is required to be completed by 5pm on Tuesday, with numbers transmitted to the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Following the transmission of the canvass results, there’s a 5-day waiting period to allow for any legal challenges to be filed to the unofficial results. At the end of those five days, or whenever the legal challenges are over, county Boards of Election vote to certify the results. Note that this process is both ministerial (in that they are not standing in judgement of the results) and required by law to be completed by November 28.
Difficult legal challenges could extend past that deadline (there are previous cases where litigation extended into January) but most of the time judges rule prior to the statutory deadline.

OP, this was an illegal form of voter ID. Even though the election is over, you should report it to 866-OUR-VOTE so it can be reported to the Department of State and investigated.

Reply to comment by agnorak262 in check your mail in ballot now! Mine was marked as recorded and was changed to cancelled! by [deleted]
That most likely means that you applied to be on the “permanent” vote by mail list in February. Those who applied to receive mail-in ballots in both the primary and general were coded by Dept of State as “not verified.” However, the vast majority (97%) of those ballots were verified at the county level prior to them sending your ballot for the General.
TLDR: it’s a data coding issue at DOS

Go for it, Doug. Good luck getting the media to cover your campaign after you froze them out last time.
