However in our Pennsylvania legislature there were so many Repukes who opposed vote-by-mail bill that they constantly put up more and more roadblocks. One of the roadblocks was this privacy envelope nonsense, but it's now written into the PA law. Also the crap about the outside envelope being hand-signed and dated. More Pennsylvania ballots have been disqualified by those two things than anything else, and that's exactly how the Repukes wanted it to play out.

Disqualify only Dems' ballots, not Repukes' ballots. That's their game.
