Pennsylvania official says dumped military ballots not ‘intentional fraud’

A Pennsylvania worker who discarded nine mail-in ballots made a “bad error,” according to Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, who indicated a lack of training may have been the problem.

“The investigation is still going on, but from the initial reports we’ve been given, this was a bad error,” Boockvar, a Democrat, said during a news conference on Wednesday. “This was not intentional fraud. So training, training, training.”

Boockvar was referring to an incident in Luzerne County in which nine military ballots were improperly discarded.

Seven of the ballots were outside the envelope and were votes for Trump, which has caused the president to raise security concerns about the mail-in voting process.
