I Got My Pa. Absentee Ballot

I still haven't seen where the Pa. SC has ruled on no excuse absentee ballots. I am now hesitant to put my Fetterman vote in the mail.

Oh and for people who keep telling me to get out the vote to keep Congress, my 15th Congressional District has no Democrats running for either US or state Rep. I am stuck with Glenn Thompson who breathes methane and drinks oil.

Wife voted for Fetterman also, that's 2 votes toward flipping a Senate seat.

against GT. You’ll have to write him in on the primary ballot. His name is Ronnie Ray Jenkins.

How did I miss that? Our district voted like 6 to 1 for Trump so Ronnie has an uphill battle. I will certainly do the write in, thanks.

Facebook. He has a lot of good ideas. I haven’t met him yet. Our CD is disappointing.

The republicans are trying to get rid of them though. If it wasn’t for the mail-in ballots, I would be unable to vote. Thank you, Gov. Wolf.
I am not afraid to mail in our two votes for Fetterman!
I don’t know our new district number, but we are are stuck with Reschenthaler. Ugh. I haven’t even heard there is a democratic opponent. Pitiful!

Your vote won't get "thrown out" as long as you sign the envelope, and put it inside the other envelope.

Remember this is for the May primary, not the general election.
You can do a write-in candidate for your party, if you so choose.
