A video posted to Twitter on Tuesday appears to show “VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT” signs posted on the doors of a poll location — which is illegal under Pennsylvania election laws.
THIS IS ELECTION TAMPERING. I was sent this video by a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, I have blurred the reflections to obscure their identity. The attendant told this person "Don't go making a fool of yourself", after they complained… THIS MUST GO VIRAL. pic.twitter.com/Nsp0vsIkWS

It is illegal in Pennsylvania for campaign materials to be distributed or displayed within 10 feet of a polling place entrance. No campaigning is permitted within the polling place.
“THIS IS ELECTION TAMPERING. I was sent this video by a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, I have blurred the reflections to obscure their identity. The attendant told this person ‘Don’t go making a fool of yourself’, after they complained… THIS MUST GO VIRAL,” the popular Twitter user Carpe Donktum posted along with the video.
The person who took the video wanted to remain anonymous, but claims in screenshots of a Dischord chat provided to the Gateway Pundit that they were told “don’t go making a fool of yourself,” when they complained to a poll volunteer.
The voter stated that they own a business and want to remain anonymous to avoid retaliation. They also said that they have been attempting to report the violation, but the phone number has been busy.
Posting a Second video from the same source, the attendants inside the polling place appear to KNOW who put the sign up, that it is illegal, and they don't care. Faces have been blurred to protect their identities. pic.twitter.com/jiNigo0uU3

According to the voter, the incident took place at the Virginia Avenue polling station in Mt. Washington.
