York County [PA] officials call ballot shortage in primary ‘unacceptable,’ vow to do better Posted on York County commissioners cited a few factors contributing to ballot shortages at several of the county’s polling places in Tuesday’s primary election. They pointed to high voter turnout, especially among Republicans. Some voters surrendered their mail-in ballot to vote in-person on Tuesday. County officials said Wednesday they intend to take a deep dive to find what led to the shortage that left voters standing in lines waiting for more ballots to arrive. But as York County President Commissioner Julie Wheeler said, “What happened yesterday was unacceptable and we need to put measures in place to fix it.”

York County clerk of courts effectively cuts off free public access to criminal records The move runs afoul of both the Pennsylvania and U.S. Constitutions and common law principles that require open courts, media law experts say. York Daily Record York County Clerk of Courts Dan Byrnes has effectively cut off the public’s ability to view criminal court records for free, a move that runs afoul of both the Pennsylvania and U.S. Constitutions and common law principles that require open courts. In the past, there were two computers in the office, which is on the first floor of the York County Judicial Center. People could use them to look at documents the clerk no longer has paper files with a software called Laserfiche. The department removed them in recent years.
Susan Byrnes Community Voices Producer Susan Byrnes was first on the radio at the age of seven, reading her poem on WRNY in Rome, NY, her hometown. At the time she was a precocious poet, but she switched to visual art, and later earned a BFA in photography and an MFA in sculpture. Somewhere in between her studies she was an executive director of a modern dance company and had the opportunity to witness up close the work of world class contemporary artists, such as Bill T. Jones, Liz Lerman, and Trisha Brown. In her own artwork she began to consider ideas of performance, participatory art and sound art, influenced by the conceptual work of these artists. In 2004, she produced and hosted her first radio show as a conceptual artwork. Called “Ghost Lover”, it aired weekly on WALF at Alfred University, Alfred, NY from midnight to 2 am, and featured the songs and stories from musical and visual artists who had died tragic or romantic deaths, as artists sometimes do. The next year she created the show “Super Sonic Transmissions”, dedicated to broadcasting experimental audio art compositions.
