It is Allegheny county but in Hampton township. Daughter has been standing in line for 20 minutes, getting closer to the door. Man close to her carrying a sign, Hope Not Hate.

Let's do this.

2. She is Allison Park

Took her 50 minutes to vote.

The poll worker who checked her in said turnout was 3 times what it was in 2020.

4. I suspect people are eager to vote

When I worked the polls, for high interest elections, I noticed voters were coming early through mid morning, then some at lunch, but there was little to no after work, evening rush.

8. Your town produced Gene Kelly and Cyril Wecht.

And Pittsburgh welcomed Roberto Clemente as one of its own.

Since I was a kid, I loved your town.

12. Michael Keaton, Joe Mangianello, and Christina Aguilera

Among many others.

I miss Pittsburgh - except in the cold weather.

6. Does Pennsylvania have mail in voting?

[malthaussen]

9. Yep. Quite simple, too, it is "no reason" voting...

... ie, you do not have to provide a "reason" for wanting a mail-in ballot rather than waiting to vote on Election Day.

Of course, the troublemakers are doing all they can to put impediments in the way, but I experienced no problems.

11. Yes.

I mailed my ballot a couple weeks ago.

10. I was going to say heavy turnout on election day isn't good

but then I looked it u and PA doesn't have early voting, so scratch that.

So YAY, PA, let's lose that three hundred pounds of ugly fat today!
