Philly elections officials adopted a last-minute change that will slow down the counting of votes

 

Counting Philadelphia’s votes will take longer than expected this election.

 

City officials voted Tuesday morning — as polling places opened and the vote count began for the midterm elections — to reinstate a time consuming and labor-intensive process for catching double votes that will slow how quickly they can report results.

 

If Pennsylvania’s high-stakes U.S. Senate race is as close as expected, a wait for results out of the state’s largest city is sure to shine a national spotlight on Philadelphia, similar to after the 2020 presidential election.

 

The city commissioners, the three-member elections board, voted 2-1 to reinstate what is known as poll book reconciliation — a means of flagging mail ballots submitted by voters who also voted in person — during an emergency 7 a.m. meeting.

 

It was a sudden reversal of a decision they made less than a week ago and came a day after a city judge, responding to a Republican lawsuit, said they could move forward without the process.

John Kerry gets chummy with U.S.-sanctioned dictator Nicholas Maduro, who was indicted on four counts (including narco-terrorism). The USG has a $15 million reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest.
