Allegheny County election board certifies 2022 results; deputies called after crowd gets raucous
https://www.post-gazette.com/news/election2022/2022/11/28/allegheny-county-election-board-certifies-2022-election/stories/202211280065Sheriff’s deputies were called to a meeting of the Allegheny County Board of Elections on Monday after the crowd of about 30 began loudly jeering as the board prepared to certify the Nov. 8 midterm election results.
In the end, the three-member board unanimously certified results in all but 12 of the county’s 1,323 precincts. A group of voters petitioned county Common Pleas Court for recounts in those 12 precincts, though county lawyers told the board the petitions are “defective” because the voters failed to pay a $50 fee required for recount requests.
