A last-minute effort in Philadelphia to ensure double votes aren’t counted means the result of Pennsylvania’s highly watched U.S. Senate and gubernatorial.
Philadelphia voters who had missing or incorrect dates on their mail-in ballots were allowed to file replacement ballots at City Hall or vote provisionally at their regular precincts Tuesday.
Election officials say Philadelphia residents who were turned away while trying to reconcile issues with their mail-in ballots can still come to City Hall to file replacement ballots or vote provisionally. But they encouraged people to get in line early Tuesday since state law requires that mail-in ballots be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day. The Philadelphia City Commissioners also voted just before polls opened to reinstate a poll book reconciliation method. The vote came despite a judge's order denying a Republican lawsuit's request to keep the process in place.
