County Board Approves Election Results as Poll Book Investigation Continues

WEST CHESTER, PA — Chester County commissioners voted 2-1 along party lines to certify November's election results despite an ongoing investigation into a poll book error that left more than 75,000 third-party voters off the rolls. Republican Commissioner Eric Roe dissented, citing concerns about election administration, while Democratic commissioners Maxwell and Moskowitz approved certification.
