I applied for an absentee ballot and have not received it as of today.
Has anyone received his in the mail?
I received mine on Saturday, October 10. My ballot had been mailed to me on October 6.
The following link will let you see when your ballot was mailed to you.

As of today, Friday, I have not received my absentee ballot.

I heard from a Pennsylvania resident that he and his wife both sent their mail in requests for this election at the same time. He received his mail in ballot a week or so ago but her's is nowhere to be found. They called the elections board (or whatever it's called) and they said if the requests were received together, they were most likely sent back together. At this point her ballot is on record as being mailed but they can't control what happens at the pose office.
Another sad story Ive heard from Pennsylvania is that many months ago the governor told everyone to vote by mail for the primary. Now everyone that did so is receiving their mail in ballots for the general election without realizing that using the mail in ballot for this election is now required due to requesting one for that primary.
Sad to say, I'm not surprised with either scenario.
Saturday, October 17.
Still no absentee ballot in the mail.
I'm voting in person, that way I don't have to worry about my vote ending up in a dumpster.
Monday, October 19
My absentee ballot arrived in the mail today.
