A judge in Westmoreland County ruled on Monday that the Board of Elections must not count over 200 provisional ballots.

The Westmoreland Board of Elections’ “decision to permit” counting 204 challenged provisional ballots “in which the poll book was also signed by the voter and as to which no additional evidence was presented is reversed,” Judge Harry F. Small ruled. Meanwhile, the board’s move to allow the counting of nine challenged provisional ballots that were cast in the Derby Township-Cokeville Precinct is reversed, the judge ruled.
