宾夕法尼亚州过时的选票投票制度在2024年之前造成了短缺、捆绑种族和可靠性问题。 Pennsylvania’s outdated ballot-based poll worker system causes shortages, tied races, and reliability concerns ahead of 2024.

宾夕法尼亚州1799年的投票选举投票工人制度在2024年选举之前就经过了仔细审查,数千个职位没有填补,许多人通过写作获胜,包括斯克兰顿的一名法官,据说他因为个人压力而写下了自己的名字。 Pennsylvania’s 1799 system of electing poll workers by ballot has drawn scrutiny ahead of the 2024 election, with thousands of positions going unfilled and many won via write-ins, including a judge in Scranton who reportedly wrote her own name due to personal stress. 国家是唯一一个仍在使用这种方法的国家,而罗得岛在2009年结束使用这种方法。 The state is the only one still using this method, while Rhode Island ended it in 2009. 仅在Westmoreland县就发生了200多场捆绑赛事,导致随机抽选和任命,破坏了两党意图。 Over 200 tied races occurred in Westmoreland County alone, leading to random draws and appointments that undermine bipartisan intent. 投票率低和不愿竞选导致人员短缺,一些工人不情愿地或因笑话而承担角色,引起对可靠性和诚信的担忧。 Low turnout and reluctance to run have led to staffing shortages, with some workers accepting roles unwillingly or due to jokes, raising concerns about reliability and integrity.
