Philadelphia City Commissioner’s Office Official: "Kamala's Got the Election in the Bag, Bro"

"She [Kamala Harris] might have Philadelphia, but she's got to win all states," remarked Joseph Bellinger, a poll supervisor standing by a ballot box outside the Philadelphia City Commissioners Office located at 5610 Lancaster Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131. Poll supervisors are bound by strict neutrality to ensure voter trust and integrity, prohibiting them from sharing political views. According to 25 Pa. Stat. § 3031.11, "no such election officer shall, when giving such instructions, in any manner request, suggest or seek to persuade or induce any such voter to vote any particular ticket or for any particular candidate." Yet, Bellinger hinted at his belief in Harris’s lead, adding, "I mean, you know my opinion."

A security official in the office who works alongside Bellinger stated confidently, "She got that in the bag, bro," reinforcing the sentiment with, "That's my opinion." The exchange took an unexpected turn when two other locals joined in, with one announcing, "I'm [voting for] Trump," and another sharing a spontaneous freestyle rap.

In response to our footage release yesterday, where the Philadelphia City Commissioners' Office told non-citizens they could vote if they are Philadelphia residents, Commissioner Seth Bluestein stated, "This report is incorrect and not supported at all by the facts. Non-citizens are not eligible to vote in Philadelphia. A mail ballot provided by our office can only be counted after the voter verifies their ID, typically with a social security number or driver’s license number." We are calling him for comment—stay tuned.
