Chester County certifies election results in tense meeting amid poll book controversy
The Chester County Board of Elections voted 2-1 Friday to certify the 2025 general election results amid an ongoing investigation into how third-party voters were left out of poll books.
Officials issued another round of apologies at the meeting as irate attendees voiced their frustration. Some even lobbed unfounded allegations of a broader conspiracy of fraud.
Calls for resignations and even criminal probes dominated the lengthy public comment sections that preceded and followed the vote to certify the election.
Commissioner Josh Maxwell, the chair of the board, voted to formally certify the results and apologized again for the poll book error.
