Pennsylvania county responds after viral videos show poll workers filling out ballots They provided an explanation for what is going on
Viral videos circulating on the internet purport to show poll workers in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, filling out blank ballots as the state continues to count votes critical to determining the winner of the presidential race between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. But the county has provided an ... Read more
The county explains:
During the processing of
ballots, a machine extractor opens the ballots. Some ballots were damaged by
the extractor during this process in such a way that the ballots could not be
scanned successfully. According to the scanner manufacturer, Hart, the best practice
to deal with damaged ballots that cannot be scanned is to transcribe the votes
on each ballot to a clean ballot and scan the clean ballot. In accordance with
that guidance, the Chief Clerk of the Delaware County Bureau of Elections
instructed elections staff to manually transcribe the damaged ballots. As
ballots were being transcribed, the original damaged ballots were directly
beside the new ballots and bipartisan observers witnessed the process at close
range. Damaged ballots have been preserved.
A third video also taken from Delaware County's live stream
shows an overhead view of a different female poll worker filling out ballots
while sitting directly across from a male worker wearing a long-sleeved plaid
shirt.
The woman can clearly be seen filling out several ballots and
stamping them, as a man narrating (while viewing on a computer) can be heard
saying, "This lady is marking the ballots. I filmed her a half hour ago
doing six, and she's still working at it."
A uniformed law enforcement officer can be seen walking by at
one point, and the narrator says, "And there's a security guard right
there who's watching her. The cops are in on it! Disgusting."
But it does appear that the male poll worker in the video is
reading off one (presumably damaged) ballot to the female worker who is filling
out the blank ballots. TheBlaze has called and emailed Delaware County for
further clarity on the process.
TheBlaze has not yet been able to determine who is narrating the
video, but it does show the Delaware County live stream web address, and its
multiple cameras.
Anything else?
President Trump has alleged that fraud is occurring in
Pennsylvania and other states, as he has seen his lead eaten away in a number
of states as election workers continue to conduct vote counts.
The Trump campaign has not responded to a request for comment
