Cambria County reports zero errors during Pennsylvania Primary Election
CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — Since the polls opened in Cambria County for the Pennsylvania Primary Election Tuesday morning, officials said no errors have been reported when it comes to scanning the ballots.
Six months ago, during the General Election, widespread issues were reported throughout both Cambria County and other parts of the state. Specifically for the County, officials reported that the issues existed with the ballots themselves, not a software error.
Since then, officials have noted that they have put safeguards in place to prevent any issues from happening again. Those safeguards caught issues; with everything noted to be working properly before Tuesday's election.
'Our goal is to, you know, show and convince the voters that, when they go to vote today that they'll be able to vote for the candidate that they choose and that those votes will be counted, and we'll continue that process all day long until the votes are counted tonight,' Scott Hunt, Cambria County Commissioner, said.
Commissioner Hunt added that these local elections directly impact families and communities and encourages everyone to go cast a vote. Polls close across Pennsylvania at 8 p.m.

‘Everybody is at risk right now', if Iran retaliates: Journalist
(NewsNation) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been warning about a nuclear Iran for more than 15 years, but who the target of those weapons could be coming more into focus, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist told NewsNation. Alex Traiman, the CEO of the Jewish News Syndicate, said on Friday that the Obama and Biden administrations flushed Iran with cash, making what is happening now 'a reality.' But should Iran choose to retaliate after being attacked by Israel, the United States and other Americans abroad could be in danger. 'I think everybody is at risk right now,' Traiman told NewsNation, referring to the retaliatory practices that Iran could employ after being attacked by Israel. Why did Israel attack Iran's nuclear and military sites? Traiman said that Iran's most lethal weapons are its ballistic missiles, which Israel has been focusing its attacks on manufacturing facilities for those weapons, along with known launch points. Military assessments suggest that Iran had as many as 2,000 and 3,000 ballistic missiles before Friday's attacks. Iran announced on Friday that it had pulled out of Sunday's scheduled sixth round of nuclear talks with the United States, signaling that it was no longer willing to negotiate. President Donald Trump has urged Iraq to make a deal, but Traiman told NewsNation that he does not believe the negotiations will be successful. He said that Netanyahu has pledged to Iran that if it allows its nuclear manufacturing plants to be taken out without major retaliation, Israel would limit its attacks to nuclear facilities, Traiman said. However, if Iran chooses to fight back, Israel could expand its attacks to human infrastructure, including power plants and oil refineries. Trump indicated on Friday that Iran still may have the opportunity to reach a deal which would involve the U.S. coming in to peacefully dismantle nuclear plants without major escalation. However, if a deal can't be struck, that opens up more uncertainties, the CEO said. 'If there will be an escalation, I think the major question is whether or not the United States would participate in future rounds of this campaign,' Traiman said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
