A mail ballot mystery is unfolding at an otherwise unremarkable post office box in South Philadelphia.

City elections officials last week received applications from more than three dozen Republican voters across a pocket of the neighborhood. Those applications requested that mail ballots be delivered not to the voters’ homes, but to P.O. Box 54705, an address registered to a recently formed GOP political action committee, according to state data.

Many of those voters told The Inquirer they have no idea why their ballots were sent there. Some said they never even applied to vote by mail.

And yet one out of every six Republican ballot requests in the 26th Ward — the section of deep South Philly south of Passyunk Avenue and west of Broad Street that voted twice for Donald Trump — listed the P.O. Box. That made it the largest single destination for ballots in the city other than nursing homes or elections offices.

“This doesn’t even make any sense,” said Rose DeSantis, 35, who was surprised when told by a reporter that a ballot she says she never requested had been sent to the P.O. box this week. “You would think that would raise some red flags.”

1. How is that LEGAL???

I guess the Democratic Party can use the same tactics.


WE HAVE TO FIGHT THEM AT THE BALLOT BOX!

THIS IS WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST!

3. They can only vote in the GOP Primary

... but there's got to be some kind of scheme here. The voters in question never filed for a mailed ballot? And why are the ballots being sent to a P.O Box, which isn't supposed to happen? Why so many to the same address?

So many questions! Hmmmmm .....

4. Wow, how did reporters find out?

6. I voted in the Pa. Democratic primary

and I followed my ballot to the county election office where it has been recorded, according to the site, Where's my ballot?

I would hope Magats have the same tracking?

5. I can venture a guess,

Dr. Oz is leading the polls but v Fetterman he is toast. If I were a betting man, and I am, I would bet that the Magats are flipping Oz votes.

This needs investigated, Pa. still has a Democratic AG and governor.

8. Your idea makes sense

Plus

Now the election office has precedence for sending the ballots there for the general election
