An embattled Pennsylvania election office faces criticism from both sides

Conservatives say voter registration processing is too slow, while voting rights groups are livid over drop box removals

A battleground Pennsylvania county with a history of election errors is facing heavy criticism from activists on both sides of the political spectrum over the way it is running its presidential vote in 2024.

Conservative activists, who have dominated recent election board meetings, say the county isn't processing voter registrations fast enough - something county officials say is simply untrue. Voting rights groups, meanwhile, are furious over a recent decision by the county manager in Luzerne county in the north-eastern part of the state to get rid of ballot drop boxes.
