MEUSER RELEASES STATEMENT ON DOJ, FBI INQUIRY INTO REPORTS OF POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH MAIL-IN BALLOTS

POTTSVILLE, Pa. – Today, Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-09) released the following statement on the announcement that the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have begun an inquiry into reports of issues with mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections:

"The integrity of elections should be of the utmost importance to every American. As such, I am extremely concerned by the news from the U.S. Department of Justice that several military ballots were discarded in Luzerne County. Discarding a ballot cast by a law-abiding citizen is suppressing that legitimate vote. I am continuing to monitor this developing situation - we must have a high level of voter security to ensure each vote is counted this November."
