They're called 'naked ballots'. Tonight, there's concern they could disenfranchise 100,000 Pennsylvania voters. In 2016, the state was decided by 44,000 votes. Key reminder: Ballot goes into secrecy envelope, both go into outer, declaration envelope.

We also told you three weeks ago about the Pennsylvania County Commissioner's pleading with the legislature and governor to pass a precanvassing law.

Act 77, Pennsylvania's new election code which expanded mail-in ballots, was passed by Republican majorities in both the House and Senate, and signed by Democratic Governor Tom Wolf. This suit, filed today, weeks after the election, says Act 77 violates the PA constitution.

I think it's important we remember every time there's a new case, a new hospitalization, a new death, there is a family, friends, people who care and are worried. It's easy to look at numbers, but we have to remember these are people. People.

Solicitor also said since the ruling to count these ballots came from PA Supreme Court and the Kelly/Parnell order came from Commonwealth Court, it's another reason these ballots should be certified.

Want to clarify something (Came up because a man verbally accosted me and another TV stations crew today): NO ONE tells me what to write/say/do on TV. We talk editorially about providing full context to tell an informative story. But I have NEVER gotten ‘talking points’.

Rep. Reschenthaler has hidden from nearly 50 interview requests made by #WTAE since 1/6. @GReschenthaler , will you face our ?’s at some point this week on news of the day & your vote to reject PA’s electoral college votes despite no objections to your election on the same ballot?

Wolf said he offered concessions specifically on reducing the number of days after the election that counties could count ballots post-marked on Nov. 3 from 3 to 2, additional security measures for dropboxes, and allowing poll watchers from outside a given county.

In 7 years I've learned grief doesn't shrink, we grow around it. 7 years of friendship with Adam I & others never got to have. 7 years of not being able to admire Alison the person & journalist. For Adam I try to be kind. For Alison, I work hard. Their memories, a blessing.

#WTAE offered Congressman Reschenthaler live airtime tonight to make this case to our viewers, but he declined. We've asked for an interview ~50 times since he voted to not accept Pennsylvania's electoral votes despite no objection to his own ballot. Answer's been no every time.

Biden's new “infrastructure” plan is really a backdoor Green New Deal. When my fellow Pittsburghers listen to Biden today, remember that he came to Pittsburgh & lied to us about banning fracking. He will do it again. This is the next move in his war against #AmericanWorkers .

Have to note that no court has found any issues with election administration in PA that disadvantaged a specific candidate. These legislators say Governor, SoS, PA Supreme Court, "exceeded and circumvented the state legislature's clear constitutional authority."

Congressman Reschenthaler gives another interview to a national outlet but hasn’t made time for any locals that I can tell. We’ve spoken with every other member, both parties, of SWPa. delegation since 1/6 but not him. We were told to check back in Weds. We’ll reach out tmrw too.
