PA judge is being urged by state lawyers to order Berks, Lancaster and Fayette Counties to add some 800 mail-in ballots to their May primary election results.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A Pennsylvania judge was urged by state lawyers Thursday to order three counties to add some 800 mail-in ballots to their May primary election results, but the local election officials insisted their decisions are firmly rooted in unambiguous state law.
Jeff Bukowski, lawyer for Berks and Lancaster counties, called the lawsuit “a ginned up case or controversy” that was brought to enforce a policy favored by Chapman, not a complaint by an aggrieved voter or candidate. Berks County Commissioner Christian Leinbach testified that in his county, which invalidated the most ballots, counting them could change down-ballot races for state party.
Lancaster County Commissioner Ray D’Agostino, a Republican, testified that he sees value in the handwritten dates because they “go to the validity and the authenticity of the ballot received” and can raise red flags that prompt further investigation.
