Gov. Tom Wolf on Tuesday revealed that his wife, First Lady Frances Wolf, dropped his mail ballot off for him, a violation of Pennsylvania election law, Spotlight PA reports. 

"I didn't show up in person at the polls. We voted a couple weeks ago, actually," Wolf told KDKA Radio host Kevin Battle on Tuesday. "My wife actually dropped it off personally two weeks ago, so it's there."

A spokesperson for Wolf called the second-hand delivery "an honest mistake."

Wolf's violation came to light after state Rep. Seth Grove (R., York), whose wide-ranging election reform package was vetoed by the governor in June, pointed out the radio interview on Twitter, adding: "This is illegal under the election code, BUT would have been legal had [Wolf] signed HB 1300."

THE CONTEXT: Grove, who leads the state House committee that considers election issues, earlier this year introduced a major election overhaul bill that would have implemented stricter voter identification requirements, allowed in-person early voting, and required signature verification of mail ballots. Wolf vetoed the bill, in part, because of the heightened ID rules.

Current Pennsylvania law does allow voters with disabilities who aren't able to return their own ballot to designate someone else to do it for them. A voter can also designate a representative to return an emergency absentee ballot.

But in all other cases, voters have to mail or bring their ballot to an elections office, satellite location, or drop box themselves. Violations are punishable by up to one year in prison and/or a fine of up to $1,000.
