Just got a call from my cousin. She we into the polls to vote (for Trump, of course) and when she was checking in, she was told "You can't vote because you've already requested a mail in ballot". However, she says she didn't. I don't know if she did something STUPID, and got tricked into requesting one because she's not really political, but either way... She never sent one back, so she HASN'T voted yet.
They told her they best they could do is have her manually fill out a provisional ballot, and they would send it in. She's meek and timid so she's not gonna raise a fuss, but I'm pissed FOR her. If she never sent in a ballot, is it actually illegal for them to let her vote if she DID request one? This is in PA. I know Trump said that you can go in and make sure they received you ballot, and if they didn't, VOTE. Are they allowed to disallow her from using the machine?

I told her to, but I just hate the idea with all the shenanigans going on around the country, ESPECIALLY in PA. I don't see why she wouldn't be allowed to use the machine.
Fucked up if she didn't mail one in...but there is no way the poll workers would know if the mail in one could still be in the mail. I'd actually say it's a good job by the poll people.
Well, she's saying she never even requested one. However, like I said, she's not very political so I'm not sure if she responded to something and accidentally requested one. Either way, she had no plans of doing a mail in ballot and was going to vote today.
