In Pennsylvania you can vote by mail, but you have to put your ballot inside a “secrecy” envelope which you must date and sign. You stick that into another envelope and send it in. If you forget to date the “secrecy” envelope, it’s not supposed to count.
It is not supposed to count even though the postmark on the outer envelope shows you mailed it before the election.
Since more Democrats than Republicans vote by mail, chances are that more Democratic ballots would be tossed. And that is why the date requirement was enacted by Republican legislators.
If you are driving to the Registrar’s office to take in your ballot, and your wife asks you to take her ballot along, and you do that, according to Pennsylvania law, you are committing voter fraud. You can be arrested for that. Since more Democrats than Republicans vote by mail, chances are that more Democrats will be affected by that strange regulation. And that is why the requirement was enacted by Republican legislators.
