Absentee ballot (non-political)

I envy those of you in states with early voting! PA does not have that, I expect to have long lines at my polling place, and have added an extra worker for this election to keep things moving better. We were swamped in the primary, and my elderly workers can only go so fast! And while it is stated that you can’t leave, even the county trainers say a half hour lunch break for workers is fine. I expect we will have a lot of absentee ballots to count by hand after 8 PM when we are allowed to open them. I have never had anyone challenge an absentee ballot, but with all the poll watching going on this year, who knows? We count them first, but they are the scantron type and I think the county may scan them later.
