Montco to Report on Primary Day Problems

Come to June 25 Commissioners' Meeting to See that Election Problems Are Fixed for November

On May 1 the Election Reform Network testified before the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners on the litany of problems we found at the polls on Primary Day, April 22:

  • Voters denied provisional ballots;
  • Machines breaking down;
  • Election judges failing to follow proper procedures;
  • County staff providing wrong instructions to election judges;
  • Polling places understaffed; and
  • Untold numbers of frustrated voters and voter registration disputes.

The Network also issued a detailed report to Montgomery County, which included a series of recommendations and some questions that need answers.

Now the County is about to respond with its report. Unfortunately, we can't depend upon the press to cover these most fundamental issues, so if you possibly can, get involved and come to the Board of Commissioners meeting on June 25. Make your presence felt in support of fair, safe and solidly administered elections, the bedrock of our democratic future.

The meeting is at 9:30 am Wednesday, June 25 on the 8th floor of One Montgomery Plaza in Norristown, opposite the Courthouse. Click here for directions.
