TJ, please ignore the goofy conspiracy theories. Here's the reality...

Allegheny County officials explain why thousands of ballots can’t yet be counted
triblive.com

About 29,000 ballots cannot be opened until 5 p.m. Friday as dictated by a federal court order, said Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald. That batch of ballots is connected to a printing error by the Ohio-based ballot vendor Midwest Direct, which sent the wrong ballots to about 29,000 Allegheny County residents last month. New, corrected ballots were sent to those affected.

Another 6,800 ballots have been set aside because they were damaged or had other issues, such as missing secrecy envelopes and incorrect dates.

At 9 a.m. Friday, the Board of Elections will swear in what is known as a return board to examine those 6,800 ballots. That board, Fitzgerald said, will include dozens of elections employees. The public and poll watchers will be able to observe the process.

Under state law, counties cannot swear in a return board until three days after an election.

Thursday would be spent preparing the elections warehouse on Pittsburgh’s North Side for the counting and processing set to happen Friday.
