Monroe County Commissioners Reverse Decision on Undated Ballots; 2% Audit Highlights Procedural Concerns
Monroe County’s handling of the 2024 election has drawn significant attention, particularly regarding the controversial issue of undated mail-in ballots. On November 18, the County Commissioners reversed their earlier decision, announcing they would not count improperly dated or undated mail-in ballots, a move that aligns with Pennsylvania law and recent state Supreme Court rulings. Separately, the county conducted its 2% audit on Monday, November 20, an automatic procedure required by state law to verify machine accuracy through a hand recount of paper ballots.
