Election Safety Measures Discussed Across Multiple Counties

With Pennsylvania approaching election day, over one million mail-in ballots have been returned, and voters are advised to check ballot status as notification procedures for errors vary by county. In Ada County, Idaho, ballot readers are programmed to prompt voters if sections are left blank, ensuring no accidental omissions. Milwaukee County uses a secure modem system for transmitting election results, with the process tested and open for public viewing to ensure transparency and security. Kenosha County, Wisconsin, decided against drop boxes for this election, prioritizing expanded voting hours instead, which some voters find inconvenient. In Wake County, North Carolina, an incident where absentee ballots were found and returned highlights the importance of ballot security and handling. Lastly, Luzerne County Council plans to vote on a resolution to protect election workers and discourage the use of drop boxes due to safety concerns.
