Election-denying 'patriot' groups are trying to stop the use of electronic voting machines across PA

4. If you read the article at the link it describes the process in Pennsylvania

When you vote in person you will use the certified electronic machine, which is rather easy to understand and use. Then a paper receipt is produced which the voter is allowed to see and approve. (In other words, if a mistake was made it can be corrected immediately.) Then the paper ballots are scanned and all data are collected and reported to the district/county and state data collection centers. The paper ballots are not destroyed in case a recount/audit is needed later.

By our current state law, the scanning of mailed ballots cannot begin until all the voting-day ballots have been collected and verified. This is presumably to prevent people from voting twice, once by mail and then again in person. Double-voting cannot happen in PA because the mailed ballots must be received before the Election Day deadline. All of the safeguards are in place to prevent double voting, however that's not enough for Repukes.

It's true that electronic voting machines - if not secure and certified - can be used to switch votes from D to R on the down-low. It's been proven that it can be done, and it has happened in other states. That's the main reason why Governor Wolf made the investment in all-new voting machines in 2018 that cannot be altered or tampered with. We know that our votes are safe in Pennsylvania and there's no reason to destroy the new electronic machines.
