Pennsylvania is the epicenter of closely contested presidential and congressional elections and there’s plenty on the line at the state level, as well. Those interested in voting by mail should submit an application online or in-person today to ensure enough time to receive a ballot, complete it, and return it to the county elections office by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Al Schmidt, state secretary, said in a statement.
