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.

Amtran to provide free rides to Pennsylvania Primary Election polls
BLAIR COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Amtran in Altoona announced it will be offering free rides to polling stations on Tuesday. Tuesday, May 20, is the Pennsylvania Primary Election, where voters can weigh in on issues surrounding school boards, judges, mayors and borough councils. Pennsylvania runs what is referred to as a 'closed' primary, meaning that people can only vote for candidates within their registered party. Independents and third-party voters are encouraged to vote if there are amendments or ballot questions. The Amtran will be providing free transportation to the polling booths during regular route hours, which are listed as 6:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. To find out where your polling location is, visit the Pennsylvania voter status website, where voters can check on their location, voter status and party affiliation.
