Pennsylvania County Bans Ballot Drop Boxes

Another investigation by Pennsylvania's Lehigh County District Attorney's Office, in which detectives reviewed hours of video of the county's drop boxes for the October 2021 elections, found hundreds of people putting multiple ballots into unmanned drop boxes.

Gov. Tom Wolf's wife, Frances Wolf, broke this law in the October 2021 election, when she deposited her own ballot along with her husband's ballot in a York County ballot drop box.

Lancaster County had not intended to provide a drop box for the primary election, but the county was sued last week by the American Civil Liberties Union, claiming that it had failed to meet in the sunshine to decide not to use drop boxes.

With one commissioner out of town, two of the three commissioners met at 11 a.m. on May 16 and passed a resolution banning ballot drop boxes from being used in Lancaster County for this primary or any future election, unless compelled by Pennsylvania statute or by an official legal authority.

Representatives from the NAACP, League of Women Voters, Lancaster Democratic Party, Lancaster City Democrats, Pennsylvania CASA, and Lancaster Stands Up implored the commissioners to expand drop boxes to every community in the county instead of removing the county's only drop box.

LaRock Hudson, political action chair for the local NAACP, challenged commissioners to provide data proving that drop boxes cause voter fraud, as preventing possible fraud was a reason mentioned in the resolution for banning drop boxes.

Kirk Radanovic, chairman of the Lancaster County Republican Club, said he was representing the 176,000 Republicans of Lancaster County who expect the commissioners to remove the ballot drop boxes to keep election integrity safe.
