Trump said over 240,000 'unverified' ballots have been sent in Pennsylvania and that Democrats are “playing games.” Wrong. Trump distorts how election officials code mail ballot requests.
that unverified voters are likely people who requested ballots using a nickname or who forgot to add a suffix, such as junior or senior, in their applications.
Frank Ryan, R-Lebanon, one of the state legislators who sent the letter to election officials, told PolitiFact that the"NV" coding does not represent"any nefarious behavior," but shows that"the system is poorly designed." Trump’s statement suggests that the"unverified" situation is something Democrats orchestrated. But the"NV" coding pertains to ballots sent by election officials across the state, which includes red, blue and battleground areas. The October letter from Republican lawmakers doesn’t single out"Democrats," although Chapman is a Democrat appointed by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.
Trump’s statement suggests wrongdoing on behalf of Democrats, but we found no evidence of any attempts to manipulate the election. One of the Republican legislators who wrote a letter to the state about those ballots told PolitiFact he saw no nefarious behavior. A computer system flags a mail ballot application as"NV," or not verified, if further steps are required to verify a voter’s identification. But that doesn’t mean that 240,000 ballots were sent to unverified or ineligible voters.
