In a release Wednesday morning, the county said about 13,000 vote-by-mail ballots will need to be rescanned, a process that will begin Wednesday morning. The county made “several attempts” Tuesday night and into early Wednesday to transfer the scanned mail-in ballot data into the county’s election software, the release states, but it didn’t work.

A bomb threat was emailed in Tuesday night to the Willowbank Office Building, home to Centre County’s elections office, and local police cleared the threat shortly after 8 p.m. According to Centre County Sheriff Bryan Sampsel, the threat was emailed in about 6:50 p.m., before about 40 or 50 people were evacuated.

Pennsylvania Sen. Cris Dush, R-Brookville, withdrew all 77 of his last-minute challenges before the Centre County board of elections could even consider the merits of his argument. The board met Tuesday afternoon and was joined by other local elected officials and voters.
