In Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, ballots were thrown into dumpsters in 2020, and in 2022, polling locations ran out of paper, disenfranchising voters, resulting in a settlement payout to affected voters. In 2024, there is a confirmed backlog of 1,000 unprocessed voter registrations and a shortage of mail-in ballot requests. Voters may not receive and return their mail-in ballots by the November 5th deadline.
Additionally, a Republican candidate's name was misspelled on over 6,000 ballots, which were then canceled and replaced, raising concerns about voter awareness and the receipt of multiple ballots by some individuals. A lawsuit will be filed against Luzerne County, the Luzerne County Bureau of Elections, and the Luzerne County Board of Elections, alleging 14th Amendment rights violations and voter disenfranchisement. There are 22,000 unregistered and more than 5,000 unregistered mail-in ballots.
