@CommissionerRD and @CommissionerJP are trying to backtrack and justify their decision to ignore the Department of State’s guidance to count mail-in votes received after Nov. 3rd. They know how bad this looks and are trying to save face, but without changing course.
We need to keep the pressure on. The guidance is clear. Count the ballots once they are segregated. Stop bending over backwards to suppress our votes.
The Commissioners initially claimed to be upset by this ruling because it would delay counting.

But now that THEY are the ones delaying counting it’s clear what their issue was always: counting these votes in the first place. Take this quote from D’Agostino’s most recent post: 
If they count our votes now it will make it harder for them to “uncount” them later! It is not the job of County Commissioners to work as hard as they can to throw away as many of our votes as possible.
It is not their job to hold our votes hostage based on a hypothetical court outcome that they hope will allow them to “undue” them and disenfranchise these voters. It’s their job to follow the current guidance and carry out a safe and fair election.
It’s not complicated. The Commissioners need to COUNT EVERY VOTE in as timely a manner as possible.
Voters choose our representatives—not politicians! @CommissionerJP and @CommissionerRD are refusing to count legal and valid mail-in ballots that come in after Election Day. Call their office now at 717-299-8300 and demand they count our votes!
