Pa. GOP lawmakers to subpoena personal information on every voter in 2020 election review

https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2021/09/pa-gop-subpoena-personal-voter-information-2020-election-audit/


HARRISBURG — Republican lawmakers in the Capitol are pushing to collect personal information on every registered Pennsylvania voter, as well as a trove of communications between state and county election officials, as part of a controversial inquiry into the 2020 presidential election.

The GOP lawmakers have crafted a sweeping subpoena, shared with Spotlight PA late Tuesday, in which they are requesting all communications between state elections officials and elections officials in every county, as well as the name, address, and partial social security number of every voter registered as of last November.

The subpoena, which is up for a vote before a Senate committee on Wednesday morning, is likely to face pushback from Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration, as well as Democrats in the legislature who have characterized the GOP’s efforts as baseless partisan attacks meant to undermine President Biden’s win over Donald Trump.

But Republicans who control the state Senate say they believe the sweeping review is necessary because of the state’s evolving guidance last year to counties on how to handle mail-in and other ballots, and to ensure that there were no irregularities in last year’s election — even though GOP legislative leaders have acknowledged that they have no evidence of fraud.

Shouldn’t there be probable cause for this kind of search. Oh and it was a judge in California change the rules to accommodate the recall faction. It wasn’t done by the state legislature. That was why they claimed Pennsylvania’s vote wasn’t legitimate. They were gonna throw out all of the state votes on a technicality it didn’t even exist

This PA Legislature is out of control, and they DO NOT reflect the will of the voters of PA. It's all because of gerrymandering. It's sickening.

Years ago, we moved to be closer to our daughter in Maryland and our son in New York. I am so glad we did not move to Pennsylvania! Pennsylvania people, hang in there! Don't give up!
