adelphia makes last-minute changes to election that will slow down the vote count // Philadelphia officials voted Tuesday to impose a last minute rule change that will extend the vote-counting process. The three-member city elections board voted 2-1 for imposing poll book reconciliation. This lengthy process is intended to prevent double voting, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Any mail-in ballots received from voters who also voted in person would be flagged during the reconciliation process. The eleventh hour decision was made by the city commissioners at a Tuesday 7 a.m. meeting. The board is composed of two Democrats as well as one Republican. The Republican voted for the change along with one of the Democrats. The second Democrat opposed it. The original move by the city to end reconciliation was made last week. This led to a GOP lawsuit to enforce the policy. According to the Inquirer, although the lawsuit was unsuccessful, the city commission decided to reinstate the process. 2022 M ELECTIONS: LIVE UPDATE “I want it to be very clear that there will be conversations later this evening about Philadelphia having counted all their ballots. The reason some ballots wouldn’t be counted is because Republicans targeted Philadelphia — only Philadelphia — to force our to conduct a procedure no other county does,” said Seth Bluestein the Republican commissioner. Elon MUSK: “I RECOMMEND VOTING ABOUT A REPUBLICAN COUNCIL Pennsylvania is home to the hotly contested Senate Race between Republican Mehmet Oz (Democrat) and Democrat John Fetterman (Democrat). Their contest is one of a few that will determine the U.S. Senate’s control. President Biden’s White House urged patience as votes are tabulated across America, saying that results will not be clear until Election Day. “We may not be able to know all the winners for several days. It takes time to count all valid ballots in a legal, orderly way. This is how it’s supposed to work,” White House press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said to reporters at a Monday briefing. The Republicans are widely expected take control of at most the House of Representatives, but control over the Senate is still a toss-up.
