Allegheny County officials they have had one report of an issue at a polling place since a 3 p.m. update.
County spokesperson Amie Downs said in a release that a judge of elections was apparently talking to a voter about a candidate. That was reported just before 7 p.m.
The release says the judge didn’t suggest the voter should vote for the candidate in question, the judge was contacted by Elections and staff to remind the judge of their responsibilities while working the polls.
The county also confirmed that all 155,000 mail-in ballots that they began processing at 7 a.m. have been scanned.
“Another approximately 1,000 ballots were delivered midafternoon from the downtown office and are being processed. We expect to make one last mail run – if there is any at the post office – at 7:30 AM. And any ballots returned by voters following the last delivery will be brought over to the warehouse once polls are closed.”
Earlier, The Elections Court issues a cease and desist order to a group that called themselves “The Commission Security” who were going to polling places around the county saying they were poll security. The sheriff’s office went to serve the group, but they were not found.
At the election warehouse, six authorized representatives are present including the Republican Party and the campaigns of Deluzio, Fetterman, Mastriano, Ozs and Schalach.
