Ballot Scanning Issues, Potential Duplicate Scans Reported in Delaware County, PA

 "With polls now officially closed in Pennsylvania, poll watchers in Delaware County have reported scanning issues at the Union Power Plant Central Counting Center in Chester. Gregory Stenstrom, a Navy veteran and forensic computer scientist, told National File that he observed two stacks of roughly 500 ballots being run through a scanner twice. The first scan was reportedly voided, but he added that it was not possible to be certain. They were then moved about 20 feet away from the scanner to the back of the room.  Stenstrom, who is both an observer and certified poll watcher for PA House candidate Nichole Missino, told National File that the counting center has had a good turnout of trained poll watchers, as well as lawyers for statewide and county campaigns.  “Good turnout of trained poll watchers, and this time we have attorneys from Oz, Mastriano and Galluch on hand who are all smart, savvy and nice, but tough,” Stenstrom said. He added that the attorneys are “pushing and assertively fighting back with citations of law and procedures,” in addition to asking questions and demanding answers."
