Pennsylvania County Launches Investigation Into Election Flop That Left 75K Voters Out Of Poll Books

Federalist:
A week after Pennsylvania’s general election, the Chester County Board of Elections is still working through its legal review of 12,100 provisional ballots cast on Nov. 4 so it can come up with election results. It is also preparing for an investigation into why 75,000 third-party registered voters were left out of the poll book.

The county uses paper poll books where voters sign next to their name before they vote. But in this election, only the names of registered Republicans and Democrats were listed in the poll books. Voters who were among the 75,000 independent and unaffiliated inviduals who were not listed had to cast provisional ballots.

Normally the county gets fewer than 1,000 provisional ballots in similar elections, a spokeswoman for Chester County told The Federalist in a phone call. As of Tuesday, Nov. 11, the county had completed 8,200 reviews of the 12,100 provisional ballots. more
