More than two months after Pennsylvania’s May 17 primary election, the Department of State still hasn’t certified the election results. It’s an administrative failure that undermines confidence in the state’s election system, according to Republican state Rep. Seth Grove, chairman of the State Government Committee.
That’s one of the numerous examples described by Grove at the state Capitol building in Harrisburg during a July 19 press conference at which he released a 186-page report (pdf) with the long title, “Election Reform in Pennsylvania: Missed Opportunities and Continued Chaos—An Interim Report on the Status of Elections in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania After the Veto of House Bill 1300.”
