Election staff in Pittsburgh’s Allegheny County, one of Pennsylvania’s most populous areas, reportedly are taking the day off Thursday, despite the fate of the presidential election hanging in the balance with more than 35,000 ballots left to tabulate. “They aren’t counting any ballots today! They stopped last night and are taking the day off,” Bethany Hallam, an Allegheny County councilperson, wrote on Twitter. Hallam told New York Times reporter Trip Gabriel, “I can’t get an answer as to why.” Pennsylvania’s slow counting of absentee ballots has kept the presidential race in limbo. President Trump leads by more than 135,000 votes in the state,

I think that these are the ballots that arrived after Nov. 3 and they are waiting for the USSC to rule to see if they can be counted

They obviously need a day off in order to manufacture all of the fake ballots they need to steal it from Trump.

From twitchy....your mileage may vary....
“ This tweet is filled with incomplete information. it's not just a day off. County CAN'T LEGALLY COUNT 29k of 35k ballots today due to court order, bc a contracting company sent out wrong mail-in ballots last month and they needed to be replaced.”

Democrats don't look confident of a fair victory. Besides which the supreme court is no longer for them to abuse, and time is not on their side since if this goes to Jan ,6 they lose. And they do not have the voters, and their candidate cannot figure, and their main partisans are commrrcial operations vulnerable to the availability of equal alternatives. The donkeys hold a losing hand.

Understandable the democrat/communists are not used to having to work for a living. A full days labor two or three days in a row is really not a reasonable thing to expect.

The delay to Friday is required by Pennsylvania Statute. The US Supreme Court has accepted a Pennsylvania case that is requesting the court to void all ballots received after 8:00 PM last Tuesday (Nov. 3).
It seems logical that all Pennsylvania counties not start to review those ballots until the SC rules.
If the SC voids those ballots it will be a huge victory for Trump as it may portend the SC is going to accept several vote fraud cases.
The 5 justice majority are not going to let Democrats steal the presidential election by means of vote fraud.

Or they are all Trump votes they put aside till Philadelphia counts all their "votes" to put Biden ahead by 50,000, so AP, NBC and Fox can immediately declare Biden the winner with 92% of the vote still outstanding in the rest of the state.

They are playing the same game as North Carolina....delaying the results in Trump win states to keep him from getting to 270.
North Carolina supposedly has only 115,ooo mail-in votes to count and it will take them until November 12th. Until then, no vote count updates since Wednesday afternoon.

The president wins Pennsylvania
They’re just stalling
And he wins Arizona
And that means we re-elected him!
I have confidence in him..
And truth and justice
But praying to God helps immensely!

The Constitution says Nov 3 is the election day. Nothing said about having it a week, month, or year early or late. What's to stop them from allowing ballots for 2024, 2028 to be sent in early?
These States' and their governors are changing the rules as the go, which is exactly what the Chinese Communist Party does in their elections.

Do any of these Biden ballots have votes for any of the other races on the ballots? Is there a consistency to those votes or what?

Day off? They're working furiously in the back room filling out more Democrat ballots and discarding any real ones that voted for our side. Nice and easy as they already know how many votes they need to put them over the top, all enabled by the folly of allowing advance and absentee voting with no identity or signature validation. Why the H has PA Attorney General Josh Shapiro not been arrested? Are PA Trump voters OK with having their legitimate votes negated through outright fraud? What a joke.
