A pair of Butler County Commissioners is disagreeing with a stance taken by a statewide advocacy group.
The County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania serves as the chief lobbying effort for county commissioners statewide. As part of their 2023 legislative priorities, the group is asking for counties to get an extended timeframe to pre-canvass mail-in ballots.
Republicans Leslie Osche and Kim Geyer say they don’t believe that should happen. The pair says that the ballots should be counted on Election Day only, to prevent any vote harvesting or ballot curing.
Osche also asked to be appointed to the CCAP’s Election Committee, but was not placed there by the current president.
