Summary
The Pennsylvania Democratic Party has sued Erie County’s board of elections over mail ballot issues affecting between 10,000 and 20,000 voters. Some voters received extra ballots, while others never received theirs, potentially impacting their ability to vote in Tuesday’s election.
Only 52% of requested ballots had been returned in Erie, significantly trailing the state’s 67% return rate. The lawsuit demands extended election office hours, a process to track extra ballots, and disclosure of affected voters’ names.
Erie County’s political influence is due to its bellwether status in Pennsylvania, often mirroring state outcomes in tight races. It has swung between major parties, flipping from Obama to Trump in 2016 and back to Biden in 2020 by a narrow 1,400-vote margin.
So this county only 50% got them, and statewide it’s only 2/3s?
No, we don’t know how many were not delivered. What we do know is the county is making simple mistakes that’s resulted in a 15 point drop in returns.
Across the state 2/3 of people who’ve requested a mail ballot have recieved and returned them. In this county on 52% have, with known mailing errors.
The county announced earlier this month that about 300 voters received ballots intended for others in addition to their own because of an error by its Ohio-based vendor, ElectionIQ.
more like intentional rigging by the elites that fund both parties and who actually decides who ‘wins’
Unless you have actual evidence of election interference, don’t try spreading conspiracy theories.
Especially not with a fucking adjective-noun username.
