These are able to be found as a comment mentioned by searching for "Allegheny Sample Ballot" HOWEVER, I've been looking at other sample ballots and there is always an indicator that it is a sample ballot. These are blank. Even with the border watermarks. I have no idea if they actually would pass a tabulator or not, they are just too "official" if they are Samples. If a connection can be made proving these are not viable if printed out on the right paper, then I'll delete this post.

THIS WEBSITE REQUIRES LOGIN CREDENTIALS BUT DUCKDUCKGO BYPASSED IT ENTIRELY
Replace the (2) with (1) or anything and you'll get a NEW BALLOT
YOU CAN DO THIS FOR EVERY PRECINCT IN THE COUNTY
I also FOUND THE OFFICIAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE PA STATE RETURN ENVELOPE.
ANOTHER FUNNY THING. https://www.dos.pa.gov/VotingElections/Documents/Envelope-Guide.pdf
Try going to the documents section. You need a FUCKING LOG IN AND PASSWORD
Search for this in DuckDuckGo to find it "allegheny county mail in ballot return envelope guide"
Pede u/poxonall in comments mentions that its a redirect from a "Polling Place and Sample ballot". However, I can't find the sub-directories to navigate to that. And again, apps.alleghenycounty requires credentials to log in. As well as there being sample ballots in other locations that outright say so.I'm going to keep looking around.
****** Update 332pm EST: I was able to find the subdirectories that led to this page. Poxonall made a good point, these are very convincing sample ballots. And other sample ballots have an indicator of them being so I'm not sure if these would pass the ES&S tabulators or not. ******
Other sample PA ballots are found everywhere. I don't live in PA and I was trying to find inconsistencies in photos of the counties that were anomalous. If anyone has a leftover Mail in ballot and can compare it to the "sample" ones listed here that would be very helpful. AGAIN. These are listed as sample, and if we prove they are, I'll delete this post. But I just can't find a similarity between these ballots and actual SAMPLE ballots.
u/hold10forthebigguy says as an Alleghany County resident this looks identical to the ballot that he voted on. Also. The published date for this PDF date is Nov 3, 2020 as far as I can find.
I'm not on a linux machine, but someone else can do this.
wget https://apps.alleghenycounty.us/website/PDF_GEN/GEN%20({1..1324}).pdf
that will get you every precinct.
The fact that their server isn’t rejecting anything after this many requests from a single IP is retarded too.

Top right says “Official General Election Ballot”
If it’s a sample it doesn’t say the word sample anywhere on it.
Great job Linux, pede!

cannot verify apps.alleghenycounty.us's certificate, issued by `/C=US/ST=Arizona/L=Scottsdale/O=GoDaddy.com, Inc.
Is go daddy out of AZ or is it weird for PA to have a scottsdale certificate?
GoDaddy is based in Scottsdale, yes.
Godaddy is out of AZ
My bad I wasn't able to test it- the token needed to be escaped. I put together another script though.
!/bin/bash
for i in {101..1324} do wget "https://apps.alleghenycounty.us/website/PDF_GEN/GEN%20($i).pdf" done
make a file, get_ballots.sh, and chmod+x that
