Activists began collecting signatures to get a referendum question on the November ballot to stop the use of electronic voting machines, following a directive from Trump and his top supporters.
In the years since the 2020 election, Trump’s closest allies have demonized several components of Pennsylvania’s election system, such as mail-in voting, ballot drop boxes and now, the use of electronic voting machines. These fears have crept into county government centers all around Pennsylvania and across the country from newly engaged citizens demanding their county commissioners overhaul the state’s election system back to a pre-21st century one.
According to the state election code, any county or municipality can vote by ballot referendum to end the usage of electronic voting machines, according to a provision of the state’s election code., a majority of the state’s election laws remain the same — including portions that may be outdated or superseded by federal law.recount fight in the 2000 presidential election
“I don’t really care what this federal act says,” Scherer said. “If the people want it on the ballot, let’s put it on the ballot.” Three discrepancies were found among all 1,661 ballots reviewed — two of which were caused by a human miscounting votes and one because of machine error, according to a report by the county’s acting elections director and solicitor, William White.
“To ask if it’s possible, I mean, anything is possible,” Lehman said. “But is it good election policy? I don’t believe so. I don’t see how hand-counting ballots could possibly be more accurate than automated voting systems.”
