Bucks County Board of Commissioners Chair Diane Ellis-Marseglia said Monday that her comments about violating the Pennsylvania Supreme Court were taken out of context after they set off a national backlash against the county's election board.
Ellis-Marseglia, a Democrat, blamed a "misinterpretation of [an] inartfully worded statement on my part" after her comment drew rebukes from President-elect Donald Trump's campaign and the state's Democratic governor, among a host of others, after Bucks County was one of several that defied a guidance from the state's high court and voted to accept undated mail ballots.
"I apologize for all the upset and confusion it caused," Ellis-Marseglia said about her comments.
Last week, Ellis-Marseglia contended the court precedent no longer matters in this country in justifying her vote to include ballots deemed deficient by the state Supreme Court
This is literally my approach to a lot of down ballot votes in primaries or where the party affiliation is unknown. There's only a handful of hyphenated names I've ever voted for and that's because I knew they were the better candidate than XYZ. I also eliminate any Haiydens, Khaydens, Bray-dinns, and Kai, Jay, Jade, Elliot, Raine, River, Lyllith, etc.
