It begins again…
The 2020 elections were rife with ‘irregularities’, ‘errors’, and outright rigging relating to mail-in voting procedures, is it any surprise we are now seeing this occur again in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania?
According to the latest reports, a ‘printing error’ has caused counting to be halted, and the results of the 2022 primary in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, will now be delayed.
Sources indicate that this error is affecting one of the most closely watched races in PA—Dr. Mehmet Oz vs Dave McCormick.
Here’s what is currently being reported:
A printing error in Lancaster’s mail-in ballots will delay the counting of thousands of votes, according to that county’s voter services. Results of some close races may not be known for a few days, On the PULSE reported. #NCPA https://t.co/kmwa9KMtTi

@SunBeltPolitics… this is a big problem, Lancaster County's mail-in votes weren't counted.
If McCormick wins those by 8%(lower than the 9.3% currently), that nets him between 1,120 and 1,680 votes; enough to actually overtake Dr. Oz's lead of 1,050 votes… pic.twitter.com/szTyrDaFGv

PBS explains:
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 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.
@SpecialPuppy1 ; sorry for pinging, but I found that apparently, 14k mail-in votes haven't been counted in Lancaster county due to a printing error which they cannot count for 3-4 days.
This might be a rerun of the 2020 election in GA/PA

Lancaster county had mail-in absentee voting issues. Those votes will take few days to hand count.

Trending Politics had more:
“We know that voters want results on primary election night,” said Ellen Lyon, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania secretary of state’s office.
“We will have unofficial results within a few days. Given the possibility of recounts and the need for official certifications, it is unlikely that final results in all races will be available on election night.”
