GOV. WOLF DESCRIBES HAVING WIFE DROP OFF BALLOT AS HONEST MISTAKE

HARRISBURG - Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said his mail-in ballot was dropped off
by his wife before Tuesday's election despite a state law requirement that
voters deliver them in person.

Wolf's spokeswoman Beth Rementer called it an honest mistake.




"I did vote, actually I voted by mail," Wolf said Tuesday on KDKA radio. When an
interviewer told him the ballot was due in the York County elections office by
the end of Election Day, he said first lady Frances Wolf delivered it.



"My wife actually dropped it off personally two weeks ago, so it’s there," he
said.



The interview segment was highlighted Thursday in a tweet by state Rep. Seth
Grove, a York County Republican who has spent much of the past year working on
an Election Code revamp. In June, Democrat Wolf vetoed an election reform bill
Grove sponsored.

"It's law," Grove said in a text exchange Thursday. "You can't hand in more than
1 ballot." He said Frances Wolf dropping off the governor's mail-in ballot would
have been legal had his bill been enacted.

State law requires voters who do not mail their absentee or mail-in ballot to
"deliver it in person to (their) county board of election," although with
preapproval others can do it under certain circumstances.

Security around mail-in ballot drop boxes became an issue in last year's hotly
contested presidential election, with Republicans saying they make it possible
for people to put multiple ballots in them in contravention of the legal
requirement.
