After a fiery political debate and even an ex-presidential visit from President Donald Trump, Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate primary is getting extremely interesting.

Oz, 61, had hoped a recent Trump endorsement would catapult him into undefeatable territory. But a poor debate performance, coupled with a strong showing from black American candidate Kathy Barnette, is leaving the Oz-team reeling this weekend. The numbers reveal a big boost for Barnette – a veteran, finance professor, and author – who has held consistently conservative values. Oz, on
A Pennsylvania court has ruled that a state law allowing for universal vote-by-mail was unconstitutional. A January 28th opinion by Judge Mary Leavitt explains why the court struck down Act 77, which allowed all Pennsylvanians to vote via mail-in-ballots during elections. “As we witnessed in 2020, Act 77 in its current form is susceptible to unconstitutional changes that weaken its election security safeguards.

Thousands of mail-in primary ballots in a Pennsylvania election contained errors rendering them unable for scanning, forcing officials to launch a multi-day hand count of the votes. “Elections officials said Michigan Elections Resources printed multi-sheet ballots in the wrong order, so the scanners are rejecting those ballots,” local media in Lancaster Country reported. Discovered on Tuesday in the early morning, the error affected 14,000 mail-in ballots and will take three to four days to rectify. “Those are being put in bins by themselves, the rejected bins. They will be put in a secure location and then hopefully starting Friday, as
A Pennsylvania county is experiencing issues scanning Republican ballots during local elections and primary races, according to officials. “Chris Varney, Judge of Elections says they were initially under the impression that it was a problem with all ballots, but then determined it was only a problem with Republican ballots,” local news reported.
