Black PAC has moved from exclusively educating voters on voting by mail to informing about all available options: in-person, absentee, early voting and voting on Election Day.
"We're shifting away from making plans to vote by mail to voting early in person," Quentin James, the group's founder, told Axios.
The Republican candidate ends up leading when the election-day votes are counted but then the Democrat overtakes her in the following days as mail votes are tallied - that's the "Blue shift." Because Trump can't tolerate the idea of losing, he's going to seize on it as prima facie proof of fraud this November even though it's a perfectly straightforward electoral dynamic.
"Naked ballot" comes from the fact that mail-in votes in PA need to be enclosed in *two* envelopes, both of which are provided with the ballot.
The inner envelope is for secrecy, to allow the voter to vote "Anonymously." The outer envelope lists the voter's identifying information and contains the inner envelope and the ballot.
Throwing out naked ballots could be costly for Biden, in a state President Donald Trump won by only about 44,000 votes in 2016, or less than 1%. "While everyone is talking about the significance of extending the mail-ballot deadline, it is the naked ballot ruling that is going to cause electoral chaos," Lisa Deeley, chair of the Philadelphia city commissioners, wrote in a letter to state legislative leaders urging them to change the law to allow the ballots to be counted.
Because Democrats are much more likely to vote by mail than Republicans, a "Naked ballot" controversy involving 100,000 ballots might well erase a Biden victory in the state and, with it, a Biden presidency.
