More than a dozen counties in Pennsylvania have seen election directors or deputy directors leave in the last year since a new law was passed to accommodate no-excuse mail-in voting across the state, 3 officials familiar with the movement say.
“The loss of so many county election officials in a single year, more than anything else, should be a canary in the coal mine for state-level stakeholders to recognize that the current paradigm is unsustainable,” the email reads in part, also warning that there’s a potential for more officials to leave before November 3rd.
Several counties and the Secretary of State’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment for clarity. The state Supreme Court ruled against the presence of the Green Party candidates, but some county officials said they worry this ruling could change once again if the party appeals, and that they’ll have to reprint ballots.
