STATE OF RACE: 

Voters are learning from the Perry campaign that Janelle Stelson is unfit to serve, citing her use of racist language on live television, reports that her campaign relied on undocumented workers, including one arrested for public indecency, and a neighbor’s sworn affidavit alleging she exposed herself naked in view of a minor, prompting a police response.

In addition to Stelson’s personal conduct, voters need to continue learning about her disqualifying policy positions, which would hurt Pennsylvania working families. These include her reported opposition to tax relief on tips and overtime, support for government-run healthcare that critics warn could raise taxes and threaten rural hospitals, and position on allowing biological males to compete in girls’ sports.

Pennsylvania has an mail-in ballot and an absentee ballot. What’s the difference?

• Mail-in ballots are for any eligible voter. You do not need an excuse or reason to request a mail-in ballot.
• Absentee ballots are for: voters who plan to be out of their municipality on Election Day or voters who have a disability or illness that prevents them from going to a polling place on Election Day.
• Vote By Mail On Demand: Voters can go to their county elections office and on the same day – request and return a mail-in ballot.
