Mail-in-ballots may hurt Pennsylvania's low-income voter turnout

The Biden and Trump campaigns are both looking to grab Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes. Like many states, Pennsylvania has a relatively new vote-by-mail law that is supposed to help voters but, a report from ProPublica and The Philadelphia Inquirer found the new law is hurting some low-income voters. Lana Zak spoke more about the issue with Jonathan Lai from The Philadelphia Inquirer, who is the co-author of the article.

*The media is tearing this country apart*

Soooo it's racist and discriminating for everyone to have the exact same access to vote that every other citizen has?

[troylynn]

If they had to go vote in person he would use the exact same excuse. This is total nonsense.

[camryl]

I actually just went straight to the comments .It's worth more entertaining than listening to the news.

If you dont have a computer, cant speak English, and dont have an address. Im sure you have more important things to worry about being in the United States and all.

[onbass]

I thought mail-in voting was the best thing since sliced bread.

[joshrickards]

This is ridiculous. Talk about trying to paint a narrative

[deplorablebilly]

If you want to vote, You can find a way to vote...It ‘s up to you!

[thletter]

Love how their explanation still doesnt explain anything on how this actively hurts turnout more than before

[iamjoker]

I’m a Biden supporter... but this news is flat out nonsense

[danjenkins]

Notice how much of “news” is “could” or “possibly” or some other non certain qualifier. Also there’s a lot of “here’s what to know” or “key takeaways”. Like we’ll do the thinking for you and you just listen to what we say.

[donaldrobertson]

With all the mail in voting and early voting going on, the lines on election day should be much shorter.

[rivermorrison]

Huh? So poor people are more likely to go stand in line somewhere for hours than fill out a mail in ballot?

[tinabrandt]

One of the Most ridiculous things I’ve heard.

[irinakrugler]

People who don't have a computer, cannot read English, don't have a stable address usually don't vote to begin with. They have other pressing issues like how to survive. Obviously people with money have more choices. They always do.

[justinthyme]

Oh, so the numbers are not in Biden's favor so this is the excuse. Got it!

[jeffw]

I guess the Dems shouldn't have pushed so hard for mail-in voting.

[xray]

"If you don't have a computer, can't read English, don't have a stable address...." Who the F are they talking about, squirrels?

[DPS]

You can still vote, just like every time you go grocery shopping!

[anafrost]

If "you" don't read English, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. How would you know what's going on without researching the topic yourself?
Also, one doesn't need a computer to get a mail in ballot and return it by mail. You do need to know how to read to follow the instructions.
You people have a problem and not only for voting.
