Forrest K. Lehman. director of elections and registration of Lycoming County Voter Services, rescans absentee and mail-in damaged ballots from precincts ,at the Voter Services office in Williamsport on Thursday.
It almost goes without saying that 2020 became a challenging election year for voters and the personnel counting the votes.
Changes in voting procedures including the introduction of mail-in ballots became the center of controversy and calls for reform.
“Mail-ins changed the face of how we do elections,” Lycoming County Voter Services Director Forrest Lehman said. “It is an entirely different project. Normally, in the run-up to the election, we would be preparing equipment and documents.”
