Allegheny County mail-in ballots invalid without voter’s declaration

“We had a lot of concern because if the voter doesn’t sign the outer envelope of the ballot, their vote will not count,” said an ACLU.

“We had a lot of concern because if the voter doesn’t sign the outer envelope of the ballot, their vote will not count,” said Sara Rose, deputy legal director.

Dave Voye, manager for Allegheny County’s Elections Division, said less than a dozen out of 180,000 mail-in ballots were missing the voter’s declaration, and that was due to a printing error.

“We were in touch with our printer and we think two envelopes got stuck together. It’s very minimal,” Voye said.

Voye said anyone in possession of an envelope without the voter’s declaration can request another ballot, but it must be mailed in time to be in the Elections Division by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Target 11 Exclusive: City of Pittsburgh paid $50,000 for drones, never used them

It has been four years since the city of Pittsburgh purchased two high-tech drones at a cost of more than $50,000. But Target 11 Investigator Rick Earle has learned they’ve never been used. Earle wanted to know why the drones have never gotten off the ground. He questioned the city’s new public safety director, Lee Schmidt.

Schmidt said the biggest concern is privacy. He said he’s working on a policy that will outline the proper uses of drones by city departments. Target 11 requested a copy of that policy but so far has not received the copy.
