Commissioners Address Issue Of Mail-In Ballots

Public comment during Thursday’s Washington County Commissioners meeting brought two requests that the election committee deal with undated mail-in ballots as prescribed by the United States Supreme Court. Their decision states that undated mail-in ballots should not be counted. Pennsylvania however is still not recommending that procedure. Commissioner Chairwoman Diana Irey-Vaughn explained to the audience that mail in ballots without dates will be segregated from the rest of the ballots that have been deemed appropriate. Keeping undated ballots segregated is the minimum request in a lawsuit currently in front of the Supreme Court.
