Al Schmidt: “I visited all 67 counties to sit down with their election…”

“Prior to the election, what improvements were put into place to help county election officials work more efficiently? Well, we worked very closely with our county partners. I visited all 67 counties to sit down with their election directors and their county commissioners to find out how the Pennsylvania Department of State can be more supportive of their efforts. I ran elections in one of Pennsylvania's counties for 10 years, but that doesn't mean I know everything about every challenge every county faces.” (01:09–01:22)
