Actor Jack Black Warns Pennsylvania Of 'Naked Voting'

PENNSYLVANIA — "Naked ballots" have been a hot topic in Pennsylvania and the concerns over votes being tossed out thanks to a state Supreme Court decision has led to a massive effort to keep voters informed.

Recently, Philly-area native Bradley Cooper appeared in a digital PSA about Pennsylvania mail-in voting.

Now, actor and musician Jack Black is joining the fight to keep Pennsylvania voters informed so their ballots are counted.

"Don’t vote naked Pennsylvania," Black said in social media post that featured a shirtless (and possibly full nude) photo of the actor.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently ruled that "naked ballots," or ballots mailed in without the second secrecy envelope over the ballot which covers the identity of the voter, cannot be counted.

There are concerns the nuance of this step will be overlooked by tens of thousands of voters.

The decision not to count naked ballots was overshadowed by another Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling, which extended the deadline to count mail-in ballots in the state by three days, to Nov. 6. Officials are hopeful this eases concerns of voters that their ballots might get lost in the shuffle on Election Day, or that the Postal Service might not deliver them in time.

Voters who want to make sure their vote is counted are reminded to carefully follow the vote-by- mail instructions enclosed with their ballot.

Their completed ballot should first be placed in the smaller secrecy envelope marked "OFFICIAL ELECTION BALLOT," which should then be sealed.

The secrecy envelope containing their completed ballot is then placed in the larger return envelope marked "VOTER'S DECLARATION" and then signed, dated and sealed.
