A Pennsylvania woman whose ballot was returned instead of being counted said she flew from Berlin back to her home state to vote in person.

Lexi Harder30 years, he said The New York Times paid more than $1,100 for a round-trip flight from Germany to the US so he could vote in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The Keystone State is shaping up to be a key battleground in the vice presidential race Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump. Harder said he cast his vote for Harris.

Harder explicitly that her ballot apparently got stuck in customs before it was returned:

I am a voter from Pennsylvania. I grew up here. I am currently living in Germany for a master’s degree… I registered for an absentee ballot. I filled it out, kept checking my tracking updates and it was never received. I think it got stuck in customs for two weeks and then was sent back. And two hours after I got this bulletin back on my desk, I looked at the flights and booked the ticket to leave the next day at 10 am, so in less than 24 hours I was back in America. It is very important to me that my voice is heard in such an important state. I won’t lie. I’m really hoping for a Harris win.

Early numbers show a strong turnout in much of Pennsylvania, including the Democratic stronghold of Philadelphia. Before polls close in the state, Trump without grounds alleged there is talk of “massive cheating” going on in town. The former president falsely claims to this day that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
