Delco Snafus Don’t Help Election Trust — Delaware County, Pa., Nov. 5, unfortunately lived up to its reputation of fostering election skepticism. Its 10 live stream cameras at the Wharf counting center were off-line between 6:45 p.m., Nov. 4 and about 9:30 Election Day morning .
We have one report of the failure being due to a fiber optic cable being deliberately cut.
Councilwoman Christine Reuther sneeringly dismissed the lack of cameras at the next night’s County Council meeting saying they weren’t required anyway.
Then 60 Republican poll watchers — and only Republican ones — were not given their certificates until 10:30 a.m., which was three-and-a-half hours after the polls opened.
And we hear of poll pads failing in Ardmore causing unnecessary delays to voters and printers failing in Haverford.
Delaware County is either corrupt or incompetent. Change is needed.
We’d also like to note that the county’s election result website is far slower and user friendly than it has been in the past.
