READ STORY ([link removed])
Over the weekend, a voter in Pittsburgh emailed one of our reporters to share that her completed mail-in ballot that she had sent in to the county elections office bounced back to her home. She told us she went to the post office, where an employee told her that this wasn't the first time they had seen this problem.
A county told us they only got two reports of the issue and, therefore, there was no need to make voters aware of it.
But we still pursued the story and spoke with local postal service employees who witnessed this happening dozens of times. Though many are likely rectified by postal carriers who see the issue, we all want our votes to count, right?
We published the story raising awareness of this snafu on Monday afternoon and, within hours, another voter alerted us that her ballot was returned to her home. She thanked us for the heads-up. Now she knows what to do so that her vote can still count. Read on to find out what voters will need to do if this happens, and stay safe today if you do find yourself out at the polls.
