Pennsylvania swing county to keep ballot drop boxes after controversy

Luzerne county manager faced legal pressure to reverse her decision to eliminate them over security concerns

A battleground county in north-eastern Pennsylvania will have ballot drop boxes this fall after its county manager faced pressure and reversed her decision to eliminate them.

The announcement on Friday came less than a month after Romilda Crocamo, the county manager in Luzerne county, said she was getting rid of the county's four drop boxes over concerns the county could not secure them. I cannot secure the drop boxes. And, you know, sometimes I have to make difficult decisions," she said in an interview last month.
