Westmoreland commissioners say costs not politics behind regional ... (TribLIVE)

Republican commissioners in Westmoreland County said it is money, not politics that's behind a decision to eliminate regional drop boxes for mail-in ballots ...

The courthouse drop box location will operate weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. beginning May 3. In doing so, commissioners said they will forego the system that was in place during the previous three election cycles where drop boxes were used during two weekends at locations in Monessen, Murrysville, New Kensington, Unity and Youngwood prior to in-person voting. About 17,000 Westmoreland County voters cast mail-in ballots last fall. That’s why having one or two days at different areas would be beneficial for those individuals,” Thrasher said. Another drop box at the county’s adult probation office in Monessen was used by just 37 voters, officials said. “In this cycle we’ve included postage on everybody’s return envelope.

This time around, every mail ballot is sent out with an informational insert reminding the voter about a new, ID number requirement that tripped up many people in the primary. Many either missed that requirement entirely, or wrote down the wrong number - writing in their driver’s license number, for example, when their registration was under their Social Security Number.

Gerow also questioned the timing of Corman’s plan as politically expedient. He further said he would call out publicly any Republican who hesitates about repealing that law and threaten them with a primary challenge. Another of Corman’s opponents, Joe Gale engages in name-calling of both sitting senators in the gubernatorial race over this issue. But blame for the flare up over the state’s electoral process gets cast at the two GOP candidates who helped pass the now controversial no-excuse mail-in voting in 2020.
