Received our mail in ballots today. We each received three!

Unbelievable. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I live in a red as can be county. So incompetent. We work at the polls, but won’t be doing so this year, or until there is a vaccine.

I received one ballot today that was sent by my PA representative Jake Wheatley. However I had already requested a ballot on my own which I received a few days ago. Needless to say we can only vote once, no matter how many mail-in ballots we receive.

Please follow all the instructions carefully. Use the inside envelope they give you, and be sure to sign and date the outside envelope just as they instruct. If these instructions aren't followed exactly - your vote will be invalidated.

like the other two, but the materials inside are all the same. Will be calling the county board of elections. I can’t even imagine that my Rep. (GT Thompson) would mail us a ballot. Especially since I’m always calling his office .

Two days ago, I received an email from the county elections office that they received it!

I had an email a week ago Saturday that it had been mailed, but it hasn’t arrived, so I’ll have to get on the phone in the morning. For the record, I’m in the city of Washington—a blue enclave in a red county.

and found out the ballots were at the printer because they ran out! Definitely call. It might be the same situation down your way. I still don’t understand how there will be time to send them back. Sometimes our mail takes 4 days to get to Pgh.
