Investigate Why Delco Polling Places Ran Out of Republican Ballots!

The Issue

During the May 18th, 2021 Primary Election in several precincts in Upper Darby, Springfield, Radnor, Media, Concord, Bethel, Haverford, and elsewhere ran out of Republican Primary ballots. This created long lines for Republican voters in the Municipal Primary Election that included four ballot questions that were being voted on statewide. Several Republicans were fed up after these long lines and wait times to use the scanning machines (which operate as a voting booth if necessary, however it can only handle on ballot at a time). Meanwhile, Democratic and unaffiliated voters were able to vote without lines and cast their votes. Some precincts received extra Republican Primary ballots AFTER the polls closed!

This needs to be investigated and we need to send a message to the Delaware County Election Board that we want our elections to be run smoothly and fairly. Republican voters all over Delaware County were treated unfairly in the May 18th, 2021 Republican Primary and we want answers as to how the Delaware County Election Board will be working to rectify this issue.

 

Please submit comment to the Delaware County Election Board at electionboardmembers@co.delaware.pa.us and let to Election Board know your thoughts on how the County Election Board handled the May 18th Republican Primary. *If you are emailing the Election Board, please include your name and address!
