2016 Postmortem

In the observer section under pa recount. Thought it was interesting

IMPORTANT: I was canvassing by phone before the elections. One person I called reported something I thought was very suspicious that might be of help as you move forward: She was from Philadelphia but living in Brooklyn. She said that she received her absentee ballot AFTER the deadline for sending it in, but was told she should send it in anyway it would count. MORE IMPORTANTLY, the person she spoke with when she called for information said there was a HUGE problem with absentee ballots that were mailed late and received by the voter after the return date. I mentioned this when I went to a Democratic field office later in the day and said they should notify someone. You should definitely look at this if you have time. Philly has the population to easily offset the rest of the state if large numbers of absentee ballots arrived after the date for mailing and so weren't returned or perhaps not counted.
