I have a sad premonition that the picnic that was 'January 6th' will be far overshadowed if corruption keeps having such a huge sway.

The argument is always “Too Long of Lines” and the answer is always “Open more polling locations.” Not a complex problem. I have voted in basketball courts, churches, fire house garages, school hallways, a college student union and a dance hall over the years. I know that libraries have been used before. You could probably set up a yurt in an empty lot if you needed something or empty grocery store as there are plenty of those around in the big cities.
In this report, we found 1,688 polling place closures between 2012 and 2018, almost double the 868 closures found in our 2016 report. Additionally,

Mail In Voting should be illegalized. It is rife with fraud and everyone knows it.
Absentee voting on the other hand is more controlled and requires a reason.
www.vote.pa.gov...
In Pennsylvania, you have two options for mail ballots.
Mail-in ballot – Any qualified voter may apply for a mail-in ballot. You may simply request this ballot without a reason.
Absentee ballot – If you plan to be out of the municipality on election day or if you have a disability or illness that prevents you from going to your polling place on election day, you can request this ballot type, which still requires you to list a reason for your ballot.
In order to request either ballot type, you must be registered to vote. Check Your Registration Status to review your registration information.
I think that mail-in voting can help both parties to some degree. I'd have to be really fired up about something to see a long line at my polling place and actually decide to stand and wait for my turn to vote. There are no ballot initiatives in November that I care about, and there is a good chance that I wouldn't want to wait in a long line to vote. Receiving a mail-in ballot ensures that Oregon gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan(R) will get a vote from me.

now if they would just rule it's illegal to vote without id, or when you die.

Non-Election Day votes should be provisional and only counted in cases of five percent or less margin. That would fix 99% of the shenanigans right there.

quick question, if the PA democrats can ignore the law, then can they be shot and we can ignore the law on murder? Or is that different?

I don't think this does anything to stop voter fraud. True voter fraudsters know better than to forget to write the date on the envelope.

True fraudsters bribe someone at the post office to place Postmarks on thousands of blank envelopes
“Voters should be careful to follow all of the instructions,” Bonin said, including the use of a security envelope and signing and dating the exterior return envelope.

Post-marked, as in actually paid for postage and went through the mail rather than dropping off a ton of ballots in a box at once…like that one video showed.
But you know what post-marked means.
It's not a "post mark", it's the handwritten date.
From the OP's link:
Acting Secretary of State Leigh M. Chapman said county elections officials should count mail-in votes that arrive in exterior envelopes with inaccurate or nonexistent handwritten dates, despite a requirement in state law.
Sometimes, people put their birthdate there, instead of the date they signed the envelope.
So you don't mind then when this is done.

Now let me think???? Just who makes these post date stamps????? Oh yes, a person, who wields them, oh yes a person.
I rest my case.
Democrats think minorities are too dumb to obtain an I.D., unless they win the lottery and need to claim the $$$.

IRS won’t cut you a check if you forget to sign your tax return either…ask me how I know.
