The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that election officials must count provisional ballots cast by voters whose mail-in ballots are rejected.
OK, what are these "provisional ballots that seem to be in question?
I'm gonna explore, while I do, enjoy...

Voting by Provisional Ballot
www.pa.gov
... If you are a registered voter but your eligibility to vote at your polling place is uncertain, you have the right to vote a provisional ballot.
What is a provisional ballot?
Sometimes county elections officials need more time to determine a voter's eligibility to vote. Election officials may ask that voter to vote a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot records your vote while the county board of elections determines whether it can be counted.
You may be issued a provisional ballot for the reasons below:
- - - Your name was not in the poll book or supplemental poll book.
- - - - - - For example, you reported to the wrong precinct; or
- - - - - - You did not report a recent change in residence to the county election office.
- - - You are required to show ID, but cannot show ID.
- - - Your eligibility was challenged by an election official.
- - - You were issued an absentee or mail-in ballot but believe you did not successfully vote that ballot, and you do not surrender your ballot and outer return envelope at the polling place to be spoiled.
- - - You returned a completed absentee or mailin ballot that was rejected, or you believe will be rejected, by the county board of elections and you believe you are eligible to vote.
- - - There is a special court order with respect to your registration status.
- - - There is a special court order related to extending the hours of voting.
- - - You believe that you are registered in a political party, but your voter record indicates otherwise (for primary elections only).

I just flagged your post Newsworthy.
It was done for two reasons: It was Newsworthy, and to help give it more visibility here on the Retort.
It wasn't done to "butter you up," as claimed by JeffJ.

The reality is, you support a candidate that wants to force women to give birth to a child with Potter sequence, forcing that mother to hold her cold, blue child for the first (and only) 90 minutes of its life, suffocating to death in her mother's arms, while there's nothing that the mother or medical science to do to offer that poor child comfort.
Instead, she has to suffocate to death in her mother's arms for her only 90 minutes in life.
That's you, and the rest of your ilk who think that America is a garbage can.

Your obnoxious posting style, which is your cry for attention.
People here and directly to me have reiterated this:
Your posting style demonstrates a complete disrespect for readers of this site.
You're no different than the posts from shrimptacodan.
And you bring shame to intelligent readers with your willful disrespect.
You're welcome.

On a site like the Retort, plonking is ridiculous.
What's fun about plonking here on the Retort:
Yeah, you can no longer see the plonked person's posts.So I never plonk. It goes against my grain.
But they can still see yours...
Which means that you can't see the plonked person's reply.
Fun, indeed.

You're 100% correct, truthhurts.
That levels the playing ground.
As on the Twitter machine.
@#26 ... The retort will be better for it ...
Oddly, just popped up on a playlist here ...

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Well, we know what makes the flowers grow, but we don't know why
And we all have the knowledge of DNA, but we still die
We perch so thin and fragile here upon the land
And the earth that moves beneath us, we don't understand

Gal, I believe you recently asked if I was looking to be a "big fish in a small pond."
Nope.
I'm hoping that those of us who are not political remoras are at least swimming in the same direction, heading towards the same goal, and are willing to show such solidarity with one another through action, deed and word.
Apparently, that's not the case with some of us on the left side of the aisle.
In fact, some of us on the left side of the aisle have been called enemies by those who were, ostensibly, on the same side.
*sigh*

Has no idea of the concept of respect for the reader.

You're the one who called me the enemy.
Own your own words.
@#40 ... It appears that the Israeli-Palestinian question will be easier to solve than the Hans-Lamp conundrum. ...
Stay tuned ...

An interesting playlist here this evening.
" I thought you were the Drudge Historian, not the Drudge formatting police."
Gal, I'm just looking for those of us on the left side of the aisle to respect the readers of this site.
LumberLiquidator posts exactly like shrimptacodan, who disrespects readers with his every, single post, and represents Trumpanziees.
LL does the exact same thing with this...
..and paints us all with the same brush, disrespectful brush.
Another that just popped up on the playlist here...

Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore...
@#103 ... I'm just asking LL to not disrespect readers with such ridiculous gaps...
Yeah, but it took a long (quite a long) while to get to that request, no?
OK, the journey to this point aside, what are the supposed gaps of which you speak?
Are those gaps a comment formatting issue, or a comment content issue?
If the former, what do you suggest? (and, yes, I do know HTML. In a prior life I brought a company from dial-up access to the web access.) That aside...
But I guess my main concern here is... why do you seem to be so focused upon formatting over content?
That's the question I'd like to see a response to.
Another from the current playlist...
