Pennsylvania Republicans Win Elections Despite Thousands of Defective Ballots

Madeleine Hubbard 12 Nov 2021

Pennsylvania Republicans successfully defeated Democrats in several Montgomery County elections despite equipment delays and ballot printing issues, causing officials to count thousands of ballots through the week after the election.

These election problems further encourage Pennsylvania Republicans to act on election integrity, and a lawsuit is already pending over election reform in the Keystone State.

“That just adds more skepticism to the credibility of the system,” State Rep. David Zimmerman (R-Lancaster) told Breitbart News. “That’s why we clearly need to change election laws and fix some of those kinds of things.” Zimmerman is one of fourteen State House Republicans involved in a lawsuit over Pennsylvania’s controversial 2019 election law, Act 77.

Republicans appeared to sweep Montgomery County’s school boards after polls closed initially. The optimism may have been premature, as the third-most populated county in Pennsylvania faced numerous election issues.

An estimated 23,000 mail-in ballots in Montgomery were misprinted, as voters received one-sided ballots and ones unable to be read by scanners. The election was November 2, and local news outlets reported Republican wins as initial results showed 100 percent of precincts reporting. In reality, 100 percent of in-person ballots were counted, but more than 20,000 mail-in ballots remained uncounted.

Montgomery County Republican Committee Executive Director Julia Vahey told the National Review that she was unaware of the ballots that could not be scanned until 2:00 a.m. on the Wednesday after the election.

“I’m pretty disappointed by what happened,” Vahey commented. “We’re already combatting a narrative of last year where people do not trust the system. And this did us no favors in trying to sway anyone to feel more comfortable with mail-in voting.”

We have to get an extra 10% of the vote (legitimately) to overcome the inevitable fraud that will occur in some states. Pennsylvania is among the worst.
