Thousands of mail ballots may be lost, Pittsburgh-area official says

A Pennsylvania county official warned Wednesday that potentially thousands of ballots mailed to voters have gone missing, with officials now rushing to send out new ones.

Leslie Osche, chair of the Butler County board of commissioners, told local CBS affiliate KDKA that officials have mailed new ballots, overnighted ballots to people residing out of state such as college students, and even had sheriff’s deputies hand-deliver ballots.

Osche said it was unclear how many ballots have apparently gone missing, but estimated — based on the number of calls and emails that have flooded local offices — that it could well be in the thousands.
