Cumberland County, Pa, where President won by 17.8 points in 2016, decides to start counting mail-in ballots on Nov. 4th, the day after the general election.
No precanvassing means smaller counties need to figure out how to allocate resources, this is how Cumberland is doing so.

Republicans agree.
Democrats agree.
Counties unanimously asked for the ability to precanvass.
There's a simple fix, and politics is getting in the way.

I spoke with Republican and Democratic legislators last week who both agree that they want to give the counties the ability to precanvass, but a deal that Legislative Republicans and Governor Wolf would agree to just hasn't come to fruition.

Friendly reminder that the @PAStateDept reported zero instances of intentional, malicious fraud of the nearly 3 million ballots cast in the June primary, 1.5 million of which were mail-in ballots.

JUST IN:
My colleague @ChandiWTAE has confirmed that BEAVER COUNTY will not start counting mail-in ballots until the day after Election Day as well.

Important to note: @PAStateDept says we WILL KNOW the amount of mail-in vote outstanding as counties start counting. In-person votes likely to be reported first, but we’ll know how many mail-in ballots a county has. Important context as counties canvass.
My colleague @WTAE_Brittany has heard from Greene Co, which says they'll start counting mail-in ballots Weds am & go until 4 pm each day. NOT planning to count thru the weekend if they don't count all their mail-ins. @ElectProject reports 5,107 ballots requested there. #WTAE
