Certainly the division of elections in PA could. The rest of us are just speculating.
For example, we know some PA voters received two ballots (issue was corrected):

Others received incorrect ballots and had to get mailed a second, correct one (issue was corrected):

Whether this is responsible for the discrepancy, I have no idea. Of course, it's also possible that the mail date is wrong, or that we're misunderstanding what it means. Someone else floated possibility of issues with military ballots. My hope is that somebody calls and asks, because it could be a simple explanation. I don't see any reason to assume the worst. Props to the blog author for great work.
- r00fus 6y agoThis happened to my mom in CA. Two ballots sent a few days apart. If she had returned the first one already in the mail before receiving 2nd, then this discrepancy would have shown up in this way. Of course she shredded and discarded the 2nd one.
