PECO Acknowledges Sending Wrong Voter ID Info

Pennsylvania's largest energy utility is acknowledging it sent incorrect voter ID information to 1.3 million customers in seven Pennsylvania counties.

Pennsylvania's largest energy utility is acknowledging it sent incorrect voter ID information to 1.3 million customers in seven Pennsylvania counties.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Wednesday that a Peco newsletter wrongly tells voters they must present a valid photo ID to vote in the general election Nov. 6.

A judge suspended Pennsylvania photo ID requirement in a ruling on Oct. 2 - just as Peco's newsletter began arriving in customer mailboxes inside their electric bills.

The Inquirer reported Tuesday that 34,000 retired Philadelphia city workers received a flier in the mail that also gives the same inaccurate information.
 
Officials said that the judge's ruling came too late to stop the mailings from going out.
