Washington County Board of Elections votes to hire lawyer to fight lawsuit over mail-in ballots
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The Washington County Board of Elections is spending tax dollars to fight a lawsuit against them over their decision not to count mail-in votes with errors on the return envelopes, and not allow people to correct them.
As KDKA-TV has reported, the ACLU announced the suit against the county elections board earlier this week.
Washington County Commissioner Larry Maggi tells KDKA-TV that the board voted two-to-one to hire a lawyer to fight the case.
Maggi was the only dissenting vote, saying taxpayers should not have to foot the bill.
