Nearly 20,000 voters in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, may have to vote for a second time this month after an error on their mail-in ballots required that their first ballots be voided.
It’s the third time in three years that Lancaster County has issued inaccurate ballots, according to WGAL.
This time around, the ballots instructed voters to select one candidate in the Superior Court election, when they actually have the option of voting for up to two.
Elections officials told the outlet that 18,554 erroneous ballots were sent out before the error was caught. Some were able to be recovered from the Postal Service prior to delivery, but some had already been completed and returned to be tabulated.
“Your ballot has been received by LANCASTER County on 04/17/2023,” read an automated email some voters reported receiving. “Your ballot status has been updated to canceled because a replacement ballot has been issued.”
Lancaster County had just over 350,000 registered voters in last November’s election, according to county election statistics, so the incorrect ballots represent roughly 5 percent of the total number of votes that could eventually be cast in this spring’s election.
Of course, the number of people who will actual cast ballots this year is expected to be much smaller than that.
Fewer than 225,000 votes were cast in Lancaster County last year in the Pennsylvania senatorial election.
“Everyone who got mailed a ballot, whether they got it or not, is going to get a replacement ballot,” County Commissioner John Trescot told WGAL. “Everybody who requests a mail-in ballot for this election will have something called a replacement ballot.
“It will say ‘replacement’ on it. If you have a ballot that doesn’t say ‘replacement,’ please discard it. You will get a replacement ballot.”
The defective ballots will not be counted, even if the voter fails to complete a replacement ballot.
“Our concern here is that people will receive that first ballot, fill it out, send it back, think they’ve done their civic duty, and then when they receive that replacement ballot in a week or two, they will think it’s junk mail or a scam, and throw it in the trash, and their (first ballot) won’t be counted,” Erin Gibson, a Democratic committee member and campaign manager, told LancasterOnline.
Election officials expect the replacement ballots to start showing up at residents’ homes on Monday.
To be counted, voters will have to return them by May 16, giving most voters about three weeks to turn their ballots around.
This election’s issues mean that Lancaster County has had problems with mail-in ballots for three years running.
“In May 2022, mail-in ballots failed to scan because of an incorrect code. The problem delayed counting because 16,000 ballots had to be counted by hand,” WGAL reported.
“In May 2021, there were also problems with mail-in ballots. In that case, about 12,300 ballots were printed out of order, preventing scanners from reading them.
“Again, those ballots had to be tallied by hand.”

What are Whites? Are we individuals or groups or some other arrangement? Professor Quigley raised this question for all humans. He also explained what Hitler thought. One day I had an interesting side chat with Matt Hales Mom and another lady, and the subject of Immortal Animals came up.
