Cambria County officials are working to put a close to last weeks election.
The unofficial results have not been certified just yet but they say all ballots have officially been counted.
Cambria County officials say they finished counting the normal election day votes just after 2 a.m. On Saturday and Today they finished counting provisional ballots.
Cambria County Solicitor Ron Repak Jr says one reason the vote counting took so long is because they expected to only have roughly 30 Thousand ballots that needed to be hand counted, but that number grew to 65 Thousand.
They were only intending to have about 30 more ballots left to count but due to voting hours being extended, and because of tech issues, there were more than 800 provisional ballots
And about 650 of those 800 are being accepted according to officials.
County officials add that there is still about 130 military and overseas ballots to count and say possibly the toughest part of the last week is not really having a precedent for what to do in this kind of situation.
“I think the challenge is never done it before, never seen it before and just trying to understand, how do we develop a process and protocol and a chain of custody. So I think process has been the main. I think communication is something that we’re going to focus on as a priority.”
The Election Board will be meeting again on Thursday at 3 p.m. And officials continue assure voters all ballots were counted correctly.
