Voter Integrity Issues Linger Post Election

Some voters were turned away Tuesday for not having photo ID even though the voter ID law was put on hold

By Melissa Daniels | PA Independent HARRISBURG — The elections are over, but the discussion about voting integrity continues. In the Lehigh Valley, problems Tuesday included: controversial signs at Easton polls, questions that made voters uncomfortable in Nazareth and voters turned away in southside Bethlehem. House Speaker Sam Smith, R-Jefferson, told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he’s heard stories about 90 percent of precincts reporting 90 percent voter turnout. Smith called the numbers “questionable,” but would not call them evidence of fraud. Attempts to verify Smith’s claims were unsuccessful, but the comment alone was enough to anger state Sen.

At the South Side Senior Center, Mark Willis -- constable for the 10th ward -- thought they were inappropriate.

When you move to a new residence and go to vote at a new polling place for the first time, you are REQUIRED to show proper ID before you can vote. It's a law that has been in place for decades. You simply over-reacted and tried to make a story out of nothing.   more ›

Pa. Extends Absentee Ballot Application Deadline

Because many county courthouses closed in the face of the storm, the deadline for handing in absentee ballot applications will be extended by one day in Pennsylvania.

By Melissa Daniels | PA Independent HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania will extend deadlines for absentee ballot applications after Hurricane Sandy forced many county courthouses to shutter in the storm.

But that deadline will be extended by one day for every day a county courthouse was closed this week due to Sandy, according to the Department of State. The deadline for completed ballots remains Friday, Nov.  2 by 5 p.m. At a noon news conference Tuesday, Gov. Tom Corbett said that no decisions have been made about extending the ballot deadline for residents who may be mailing …

With last minute surges in voter registration, Northampton County Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 31,017, as of Friday morning. But the Northampton County Election Office still had hundreds more registrations to check addresses for and to put into the computer system, said Dee Rumsey, county director of elections. As of Friday morning (Oct. 12), Northampton County had 101,338 registered Democrats, 70,321 Republicans and 37,426 independents and members of other parties, according to Rumsey.
