BUTLER COUNTY, Pa. (KDKA) — There are concerns over mail-in ballots in Butler County.

KDKA has heard from numerous voters who said they haven’t received their ballot even though they were reportedly mailed out more than a month ago.

Leslie Osche, chair of the Butler County commissioners, told KDKA that there was a glitch in the SURE system, which is partially to blame. She assured county voters that everything is under control and the ballots are coming.
-------------
Commissioner Osche said the issue is widespread. She said someone at the state level entered the wrong information into the SURE system last Thursday, changing the ballot status for voters across Pennsylvania.

That was two weeks ago. Is this related to the OP? Are Republicans in PA setting up a SCOTUS mess?
