<Redacted>,

I'm a certified poll watcher for the 2020 General Election here in Dauphin County. In December, I requested some of the write-in results from the Election Office. There are three known discrepancies I request that the Office correct. They are as follows:

DISCREPANCY 1
President/Vice President
Howie Hawkins, a Green Party candidate, is listed as "Howard" Hawkins in "Howard Hawkins/Angela Walker." If necessary, I'll provide you a copy of my own ballot for comparison.
​
DISCREPANCY 2
President
Howie Hawkins is again listed as "Howard" Hawkins. As an affiliate of the county Green Party, I have yet to confirm any voters in the area who wrote him in as Howard.

DISCREPANCY 3
State Rep, District 103
Kelvin Maxson, an independent candidate, is only listed as "Kevin" Maxson. However, some voters wrote him in as "Kelvin" Maxson. The sample ballot in the Democratic Primary also listed him as Kelvin.

I hope to follow up with you on this matter next week.
