WEST CHESTER, Pa. — All Voting is Local Pennsylvania State Director Deborah Hinchey issued the following statement following a Chester County hearing Friday afternoon that denied an attempt by local election deniers to challenge the eligibility of hundreds of voters:
“Through these baseless voter challenges, election deniers in Chester County tried to strip voters of their fundamental right to cast a ballot. Democracy came out on top today after a unanimous vote from the bipartisan group of county commissioners, proving the systems protect voters and ensure they are not wrongly knocked off the voting rolls.
“The same conspiracy theorists who claim they want to improve elections actively tried to bog down the systems and overwhelm the hardworking officials that keep them safe and secure. These challenges take time away from election officials, who could instead spend their time on things that actually matter, like creating informative materials for voters and administering voting sites.”
