“An error by a company that prints ballots for several Pennsylvania counties made thousands of mail-in ballots unreadable Tuesday as voters were deciding hotly contested primaries for governor and U.S. Senate in one of the nation’s most important battleground states,” PBS reported.
“Officials in Lancaster County, the state’s sixth most populous, said the problem involved at least 21,000 mailed ballots, only a third of which were scanning properly,” the report stated. “The glitch will force election workers to redo ballots that can’t be read by the machine, a laborious process expected to take several days. Officials in the GOP-controlled county pledged that all the ballots will be counted eventually.”
“Citizens deserve to have accurate results from elections and they deserve to have them on election night, not days later,” Josh Parsons, a Republican and vice chair of the county board of commissioners, said at a news conference. “But because of this, we’re not going to have final election results from these mail ballots for probably several days, so that is very, very frustrating to us.”
“The Lancaster Board of Elections, of which Parsons is a member, renewed its criticism of a 2019 state voting law that expanded mail-in balloting but prevented counties from opening mailed ballots before Election Day to check for errors,” the report continued.

Elections in our modern age should be very simple and 99.9% accurate. This is an abomination.
Politicians count on every day life taking over any concern about “ voting results”
As long as they can feed off tax dollars they don’t care who is in office as it appears to be mostly theater with switching roles minus a few who really are
“ representatives of the people”
It takes time to change the algorithm in the machine.
> Unfortunately, we did a poor job of drawing the focus to that issue after 2020.
BS. We did everything legal. The only unfortunate thing is that the cheaters are the people we’re politely asking to fix the problem.
“How do allow people whom will be out of the voting location to vote?”
Ever hear of absentee voting by absentee ballot?
Always a GD EXCUSE!!!!!!!
You would think it would be a lucrative business to build voting machines using off the shelf components and Open Source software so that people know what goes on with them. Seems like everyone would clamor for them, everyone who does not want a fraud machine that is. Would be a good project for someone like Elon.
My other thought on that is; Why don’t we have companies that build ATM or Point of Sale machines build these voting machines. They’ve got a good track record for security and lack of glitches.
Instead we have these machines, the roots of which go back to Venezuela. I suppose that’s because we are now a corrput banana republic ourselves.
The people want:
No mail-in ballots. No machines. Paper ballots. Voter ID. Observed hand counts. One election day, not plural. Results the night of the election.
Oz Ahead by 2672 Votes, with 94% Reported (5.18.22)
20,000 ballots to change doesn’t take several days.
I disagree. Too much of a scattershot approach on everything relating to that election rather than focusing on this single biggest problem. Voters largely tuned out election reform because we were too focused on the unachievable goal of trying to overturn the election.
Thousands of mail-in ballots unreadable.
You know just like the last election it’s why they had to count them so many times you keep counting until they come out right.
The Karl Marx party never sleeps.
The identity of the voter must be verified. Historically an affidavit was required. But then howbdo you verify the identity of the witness? And how can you ensure the secrecy of the vote in a mail-in ballot?
mail-in ballots will always destroy the integrity of an election
This mail in ballot BS has to stop unless absolutely needed CA. just went ALL mail in ballots, I will no longer be voting why bother? This will be the first time I have not voted since turning 18, I AM DONE!!
If you vote in a fraud election, you are voting for fraud.
