WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Luzerne County, the largest county in northeastern Pennsylvania, had key races and issues to watch on Tuesday.
Luzerne County has had some problems in recent years running elections. I-Team Reporter Andy Mehalshick has been watching the vote count in the county all day.
All systems were go on Tuesday in Luzerne County. There were no major problems to report. In fact, the vote count was well underway at the Luzerne County Penn Place office building, which houses the election bureau.
The operation was quite a scene.
Poll workers from around Luzerne County brought computer cards, paper ballots, and anything connected to the voting process to Penn Place.
They are organized and taken upstairs to the bureau of elections for counting, and that counting will be completed on Tuesday.
