PA 21,000 Mail Ballots to be ‘Hand Marked’ Due to Printing Error

Shocking….. the local news WGAL in South Central Pennsylvania is asking for volunteers – you, me and whoever, no skill required, to hand mark ballots that could not be read by machine due to a “printing error.” Included were the location with the hours of where we were to go.
