Scranton, Lackawanna County-The general election may be in the books, but that's not the case for the official vote count in Lackawanna County.

     About a dozen workers began that task, today, at the voter registration office in Scranton.
     Workers are reviewing the nearly 98-thousand votes cast county-wide.
     They must also review some 400 provisional votes and 300 absentee ballots that received an extended deadline.
