Luzerne County Cancels 6,700 Mail-in Ballots

In Coldwater, MI, a clerical error led to incorrect absentee ballots being mailed to voters, but the City Manager confirmed all affected individuals have been notified and can still apply for absentee ballots ahead of the November 5 election. Meanwhile, in Luzerne County, PA, over 6,700 mail-in ballots were canceled due to a misspelling of state Rep. Alec J. Ryncavage's name, prompting the Bureau of Elections to send out corrected ballots and inform voters via postcard. The error originated in a file from the vendor and is under investigation. In Franklin County, Ohio, voters are facing confusion over mail-in ballot postage, as many are being charged $1.01 instead of the stated 73 cents, leading to frustration among those following the provided instructions. Election officials in both counties are taking steps to rectify issues and ensure voters are informed about their ballots. The overall situation underscores the importance of accuracy in election processes as the November elections approach.
