Today should have been the first day for ballots to be sent out to voters who are voting absentee or mail in ballot in Pennsylvania. None of Pennsylvania’s counties will be able to send out ballots to voters today, the first day counties are able too.

Due to lawsuits and other issues, The state’s Democratic Party remains in court battling to keep the Green Party off the ballot. The pending legal dispute has led to a delay in certification of the November ballot, and as a result, all Pennsylvania county election officials who this year could have started offering absentee or mail-in ballots, as well as in-person early absentee voting, starting September 14 are in a holding pattern.

Pennsylvania has not finalized its ballot less than eight weeks before Election Day.
