Montgomery County, Pennsylvania announced Friday the launch of the swing state’s “first Voter Services Mobile Satellite Office,” a customized van from which residents can register to vote and return completed ballots, among other things.
A resolution including a contract award for a “voter services” van was approved 2-1 in August by the board of county commissioners’ Democrat majority. Last week, the “mobile satellite office” made its first public appearance at a local fall festival, the city says. But the board’s Thomas DiBello, the Republican who did not vote for the van, tells The Federalist he does not support this mobile get-out-the-vote effort in the community ahead of next month’s election.
The van is equipped to provide the “same services as a regular satellite office,” according to the Montgomery County website. “During periods of high traffic,” the county says it “operate[s] [these] separate satellite locations to better serve … residents.”
“No appointment is needed to visit these locations,” the county website says.
This means citizens could register to vote, update their registration, request a mail-in ballot, and return their completed ballot at the van or at a regular satellite office in the few weeks left before Election Day.
The county is also allowing voters who mailed in ballots without properly marking the exterior envelope with a signature and date, to cure their ballot from the van so the vote can be counted, DiBello confirmed to The Federalist. It is a controversial practice often argued in Pennsylvania courts.The state election code says ballots must be properly marked on the exterior envelope to be counted. Some counties interpret this law to prohibit a ballot curing period, and others allow the practice. Secretary of State Al Schmidt earned criticism for telling counties to flag ballots in need of curing so voters will be notified to come in and make changes to them. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
