Some even called. Repeatedly. “There was a problem between the Pittsburgh post office and the letter sorting office,” Sisley said, “but we don’t know what the problem is.” He confessed that he did not know how many votes were missing, so he could not provide numbers.

Sisley said Butler County is north of Pittsburgh, and there are about 150,000 registered voters, and authorities are doing everything they can to ensure affected voters have a way to vote. County officials said Thursday they had mailed about 40,000 ballots, but only 21,300 have been received so far.
