Elections officials in a central Pennsylvania county were scrambling on Monday to fix an error on more than 18,000 mail-in ballots for the spring primary, when voters will elect judges for the state Supreme Court and other positions.
Late last week someone noticed that the ballot for Superior Court instructed Republican and Democratic primary voters to pick only one judicial candidate to nominate from their party, when in fact voters could pick two, according to Lancaster County’s elections board. There are two vacancies to fill on the mid-level appeals court., which is about 71 miles west of Philadelphia, intercept and safely secure over 15,000 of the affected ballots, officials said.
The problem comes as voters are just receiving mail-in ballots for the primary, which also includes a vacancy on the state Supreme Court. Voters will receive replacements with corrected wording and a sheet of instructions. Those who received an erroneous ballot were told to throw it out and wait for a replacement. Ballots from those who fill out and return erroneous versions will be “set aside” by the elections board, the county said.Pennsylvania is a closely divided swing state that is expected to be a major battleground in next year’s presidential contest.
