I spent 5 years of my life trying to invent that anal bum cover. Failing to do so is my greatest regret.

That's actually a coal fired power plant, the stacks are off to the right side. Many newer coal fired plants use cooling towers to reduce the volume of water they have to process. They are considering changing this plant from coal to natural gas.

That is correct. But, to me I would complain to them to get them to also cure ballots, not eliminate votes. But that's just me. Fortunately I live in an area that, surprisingly has the ballot cure process available. That said, I am planning to vote in person, so it's a moot point for me, but may benefit others.

Just remember, this is the same group that has now sued themselves half a dozen times over the election laws that they themselves had passed due to it not having their expected outcome.
They are suing because changing the law requires more than just a straight majority vote, and they don't have a supermajority in PA, so basically they don't have enough votes to just "change the law" again. So, their argument has been that they passed an unconstitutional law, and have been trying to use the courts to overturn the law they passed. So far, they have lost every legal challenge, Unfortunately we, the tax payers, are paying the bill for this idiocracy.

That would be a scandal, since according to law ballots are not allowed to be opened before a specific time on the day of the election. So, any ballots that are opened before that day would be a problem.

This was a lawsuit over the ballot-cure process for mail-in ballots that, for whatever reason, were deemed "tainted" and unable to be counted by law.
FWIW: In PA, the current mail-in law requires you to fill out your ballot, place the ballot inside of an inner secrecy envelope. You are not allowed to place ANY marks on the inner secrecy envelope. Place that envelope inside of an outer return envelope and sign the declaration on the outer envelope, and return the ballot. Click HERE for the official instructions on the PA voting website.
The ballots are received, outer envelope scanned, you get a notification that your ballot was received, and the secrecy envelope and ballot placed in a bin to be counted election day. (Ballots can only be opened on election day, and cannot be pre-counted, according to PA Law.)
So, issues that came up in the past:
- This procedure was different than in past years, so people were erroneously signing the inner envelope. Other times, they would only send the ballot in the outer envelope, or just the inner envelope (making the ballot non-countable)
- Due to the thickness, ballots were getting snagged in the USPS mail sorting equipment, ripping the outer return envelope, sometimes even the inner secrecy envelope.
- PA made the Secrecy and Mailing envelopes very close in size, so sometimes at the voting office in opening the outer envelope, they would snag the inner envelope and taint the seal on the secrecy envelope.
In any of these cases (and some others), the voting office could notify you that there is something wrong with your ballot, and you could go to the voting office, with your ID, and claim your ballot, "cure" the issue and re-submit it for processing.
It is the ballot "cure" process that they decided was somehow unfair and decided to sue over. The result of this ruling means they can continue the process as it exists.
