We launched PA’s risk-limiting audit (RLA) of the 2022 governor’s race yesterday. @PAStateDept generated a random seed number by rolling 20 10-sided dice to identify which ballot batches counties will audit. RLAs are the gold standard for election audits. vote.pa.gov/Audits

Under PA law, counties cannot begin pre-canvassing of mail ballots until 7 am on Election Day. We understand that people want results ASAP — but counting takes time. Election officials will work around the clock to count all eligible votes. Keep up at vote.pa.gov.

Every county is expected to include undated ballots in their official returns for the Nov election, consistent with guidance & @CommCtofPA decision. Today’s order from SCOTUS vacating Third Circuit’s judgment on mootness grounds does not affect the prior decision of @CommCtofPA.
