Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in the news again (previously here, here and here)
From the Wilkes-Barre, PA Times Leader:
Luzerne County Council votes to seek primary investigation
A Luzerne County Council majority voted Tuesday to ask the county District Attorney’s Office to investigate the May 18 primary election.
Other council news and then this:
Councilman Walter Griffith proposed the DA election investigation request, citing an on-screen ballot mislabeling error and other problems that caused many voters to be “disenfranchised and concerned about the integrity of the election process.”
It was unanimously approved by all 10 council members present, with Linda McClosky Houck absent.
County DA Sam Sanguedolce was not in attendance but said Tuesday night his office will investigate any allegations of potential criminal conduct relating to the May primary.
The problem being addressed?
Dominion Voting Systems Inc., which supplied and programs the devices, said “human error” at the company caused the data entry typographical mistake that put a Democratic header at the top of Republican ballots.
What is so difficult about receiving, verifying and tabulating ballots - why does Dominion need such obfuscation and that many potential points of failure. Should be a streamlined process and it is not. They are not catching these errors, the voters are.
In a just world, Dominion would be investigated top to bottom and not just some show trial like Bob Mueller's two year / $32 million dollar boondoggle.
