Judge extends early voting in Pennsylvania after thousands of mail-in ballots delayed, missing
A Pennsylvania judge on Friday ordered election officials in Erie County to extend early voting hours and offer expedited absentee ballots to up to 17,000 voters whose mail-in ballots either never arrived or arrived late, delivering a victory to state Democrats who sued county election officials over a series of "vendor issues."
Those vendor-related issues “threaten to disenfranchise thousands of registered voters,” according to the suit from the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, which claimed thousands of individuals had not yet received or belatedly received mail-in ballots.
At a hearing earlier this week, Democrats shared evidence establishing that around 1,200 Erie voters who live out-of-state never received mail-in ballots “through no fault of their own,” Judge David Ridge ruled on Friday.
Ridge wrote that the measures he imposed, which include a mandate to add additional printers to election offices to reduce wait times, were necessary to “ensure all registered voters … are given full opportunity to complete their right to vote.”

Texas says DOJ election monitors not allowed in state's polling places
Texas says election monitors from the U.S. Department of Justice will not be permitted in the state's polling places.
Earlier Friday, the Justice Department issued a press release stating it planned to send election monitors to more than 80 counties in 27 states to monitor compliance with federal voting rights laws. The list included eight counties in Texas, including Dallas and Harris counties.
"Texas law is clear: Justice Department monitors are not permitted inside a polling place where ballots are being cast or a central counting station where ballots are being counted," Nelson's letter stated.
The letter ended with: "Rest assured that Texas has robust processes and procedures in place to ensure that eligible voters may participate in a free and fair election."
The Justice Department has sent Election Day monitors to polling places around the U.S. for decades.
