Mail ballot drop boxes dominated public comment at Tuesday’s Luzerne County Council meeting.  According to reports, a crowd of citizens spoke both for and against the decision by county Manager Romilda Crocamo to eliminate four drop boxes for the Nov. 5 general election.   A press conference outside the courthouse to seek restoration of the drop boxes was held before Tuesday’s meeting. It was coordinated by In This Together NEPA, an affiliate organization of Action Together NEPA, which has supported Democratic candidates for county offices.  A group of Republicans, one with a megaphone, loudly heckled and made comments throughout the press conference, voicing criticisms and counterarguments about drop boxes.
