PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — In the 44 days leading to Election Day, the U.S. is experiencing high anxiety due to deep-seated divisions and an overwhelming amount of election information.

Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, is seeing conflicting polling data, with some suggesting Kamala Harris may lead Donald Trump in critical counties like Erie and Northampton. However, this is Pennsylvania, where anything could happen — and will — so the outcome is difficult to predict.

Wouldn't it be something if an internal party disagreement undid this election? Because right now there's a not-so-quiet battle continuing over the power of vote-by-mail in the state's U.S. Senate race.

Dave McCormick has embraced mail voting along with Republican Party, but there is a dilemma: While the GOP supports that concept, Donald Trump has once again begun to question its integrity. If things don't go his way, teams of lawyers might earn lots of money come November.
