How the fukk are they THIS bad at counting

Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County won’t start tabulating its last 35,000 ballots until Friday, including up to 29,000 from voters who originally got the wrong ballot. And although beginning that work Friday has been the plan for nearly a month now — a plan backed up by a federal court order — the brief hiatus in counting somehow managed to throw an already contentious election into even deeper chaos.

Any counting delay was bound to raise eyebrows: The vote in Pennsylvania is being scrutinized and may end up close when the count is finished. But Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said at a Thursday press conference that work is being done by a county Return Board, which, by state law, is not permitted to meet prior to the Friday after an election. The review, he said, “is a normal process that happens during every election, every year.”

The Return Board includes dozens of people who review the election night ballot-counting done by election workers — some of whom serve on the board itself – and handles any ballots for which there are problems. With the profusion of mail-in voting this year, that will include ballots that were torn in the mail and couldn’t be scanned or whose outer envelopes were undated, among other problems. The county has 6,800 such ballots awaiting review.
