Election deniers running to make Pa. voting rules

Dozens of people running for county commissioner in Pennsylvania this year have expressed skepticism about the outcome of the 2020 election or directly said it was stolen from Donald Trump, claimed that the outcome was affected by fraud, or otherwise said there was a conspiracy to manipulate elections.

That includes Zach Scherer, a GOP candidate for Butler County Commissioner who has repeated debunked election claims online, organized a group that cited conspiracy theories in pushing for local 2020 investigations, and who now says he's running to bring "election integrity to Butler County."

If voted in, Scherer would assume a role that in many parts of the state oversees critical aspects of how elections are run, including the locations of voting precincts, the setting of election budgets, the hiring of election directors, and the local rules around casting a mail ballot.
