Philadelphia city officials are moving forward with the Election Day measure due to Republican insistence

Philadelphia officials voted Tuesday morning to impose a last-minute rule change that will draw out the vote-count process.

The city's three-member elections board voted 2-1 in favor of imposing poll book reconciliation, a lengthy process intended to prevent double votes, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Tuesday. The reconciliation process would flag any mail-in ballots from voters who also cast ballots in person.

This safeguard is built into the computerized voting system here in Duval County, and I'm sure in many other systems across the country.  This is not a difficult thing to do from a programming perspective.  Why this type of basic check isn't in the systems serving a city as large as Philly is concerning in and of itself, but if they can't get these basic auditing features into their systems in time for the elections, then mail-in voting shouldn't even be allowed.  The obvious answer is that the powers that be don't want a tightly audited system for obvious reasons.
