PA Sec. of State: Election results could drag to next week over military ballots
The make or break state of Pennsylvania has yet to post final results of Tuesday night’s election as poll workers continue to count ballots through Wednesday and may just be getting started. The Keystone State’s Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, D, told reporters Wednesday morning that the process could last through next week to assure that all military ballots are counted.
The Pennsylvania Department of State allows for overseas military ballots to be received up to 5:00 p.m. 7 days after election day.
“Vote count, as I’ve said many times, is never done on election night and the counties are doing this accurately… and as quickly as they possibly can,” Boockvar explained. “And, again, I’ll also just remind everyone military overseas ballots are not due until a week after election day, so next Tuesday is the deadline for military and overseas voters to cast their ballots.”
She added, “And we want to make sure that not only every civilian absentee ballot valid voter is counted, but also that every man and woman who are serving our country that their votes are counted.”
Currently, 79% of precincts are reporting 5,651,860 ballots cast, according to The New York Times. President Donald Trump is now leading with 53.8% of the vote.

Judge orders Biden’s DHS to release files on agents accused of censoring election ‘misinformation’
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry made headway in countering federal agents involved in suppressing what liberal tech labeled “misinformation” on social media.
The Attorneys General moved to release testimony from five Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) employees after learning of their participation in the Biden administration’s counter-“disinformation” efforts. On Wednesday, a Louisiana judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release the files.
Court documents dated Jan. 19 show the agents participated. The judge’s motion Wednesday could shed light on a “switchboarding” tactic employed during the 2020 election, according to the order.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, which include the named individuals as well as President Joe Biden and top officials from a variety of federal agencies, “colluded and/or coerced social media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social media platforms by labeling the content “dis-information,” “mis-information,” and “mal-formation.”
The Daily Caller reports that the five CISA employees allegedly served as a “switchboard” to route requests from federal agencies to censor disinformation to various social media companies, according to the documents.
Switchboard work employed “an audit official to identify something on social media they deemed to be disinformation aimed at their jurisdiction,” top CISA election security agent Brian Skully testified in a deposition released Thursday.
“They couldforward that to CISA and CISA would share that with the appropriate social mediacompanies.”
UPDATE: The judge granted our motion to compel. CISA has 14 days to comply. https://t.co/2bhwQQJTG6
