The political battlefield of Pennsylvania is once again in chaos, as the Republican National Committee (RNC) sounds the alarm over what it calls nothing short of voter suppression. On October 28th, the RNC penned a scathing letter to Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State, Al Schmidt, condemning widespread reports of voting disruptions—closed offices, malfunctioning computers, and blocked access to mail-in ballots in critical counties. The timing couldn’t be worse: with the election only eight days away, every vote in this swing state carries significant weight.
This situation demands more than a cursory glance. It’s not just a matter of administrative inconvenience. What’s unfolding in Pennsylvania is a sinister combination of voter suppression and systemic negligence, raising old questions about electoral integrity in a state that has been the site of bitter disputes in every recent election cycle.
