Looking Ahead to the Pennsylvania Primary

Pennsylvania state Rep. Babette Josephs, who chairs the committee that oversees elections, is worried that many first-time voters will forget that they have to show ID.

"And I fear that some of those who have no time to go back home and get ID, that there may not be enough provisional ballots for them to vote, which is a procedure we allow here in the state," she says. Local officials say they're prepared for a heavy turnout, and that there should be enough ballots.

One advantage for Pennsylvania voters is that their provisional votes can be counted, if they're cast anywhere in the correct county. Many states require provisional votes to be cast in the correct precinct — a problem if a voter does not know where that is.

3. We had some problems in Philly

People were turned away and told that there were no provisional ballots available. We were scrambling to try to address the problem when I had to leave to drive back to DC. Unfortunately, the request for extended polling hours in problem precincts was denied.
