Reply to comment by ScienceWasLove in Majority of 16k canceled Pa. mail-in ballots were from Dems by TransporterOffline

Understanding math isn't the issue. Understanding context is important too. This article comes after several years of republican attack on the mail-in ballot system, specifically because of its high proportion of democratic voters. This article is proof that the attack is working. The only thing your "alarming" percentages really prove is that Republicans are worse at writing their address on the envelope.

Unless you think people are sitting there going through each envelope trying to throw away the Republican votes.

You're focusing on the 0.8% difference. The people downvoting you are focused on the 7417 vote difference. It's a more important difference.

Republicans do not “attack” anything. In PA they disagreed with emergency election measure put in place with the COVID shutdown which were maintained but not followed w/ legislative action once the COVID shutdown was ended.

The next argument was over mail in voting procedures and what rules (from the legislature) should and should not be followed and how that should be resolved in each voting district.

It can be argued, as many did, the arguments for following the rules supported the republicans.

Although, we can see in these results that 1% of dems didn’t follow ten rules and 1.8% of republicans didn’t follow the rules.
