So, If Republican counties were not giving voters a chance to cure their ballots, it’s because Republican officials in those counties chose not to do it.

I live in the City of Pittsburgh (solid blue) and in Allegheny County (sometimes blue, sometimes red) and my County Election Board officials did reach out for ballot-curing whenever it was possible. Of course getting closer to the November 3rd deadline made it harder to do that, but many times it's an easy fix. The ballots that were "cured" within deadline could have been Dem. or GOP, and there's no way to know. But that isn't the point of "curing" the ballots. It's the good-faith intentions of the County Election officials that made the difference, in every case.

I suggest that Pennsylvanians look closely at our own County Election Boards, and find out what was done. Don't worry about other counties, we need to be sure that our own Election Board officials did their jobs faithfully. Kayleigh McEnany needs to be relieved of her duties.
