In Cecil, Pennsylvania, mail-in voting has become a family tradition for Erika Worobec, who shares her voting process with her son. However, a ballot error led to her vote not being counted, sparking controversy over election integrity and the accuracy of results.

Worobec, concerned about voting rights, has joined other voters in legal action to ensure ballot access for the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Understanding the significance of each vote, she's part of ongoing disputes in battleground states over voting regulations.
