Pennsylvania Senate Chairman Initiates Forensic Probe of 2020, 2021 Elections

A Pennsylvania senator on Wednesday announced that he has triggered a forensic investigation of the 2020 and 2021 elections.

"This is necessary as millions of Pennsylvanians have serious doubts about the accuracy of the 2020 General Election. A January poll from Muhlenberg University showed that 40 [percent] of Pennsylvania voters are not confident that the results of the 2020 Election accurately reflected how Pennsylvanians voted. Discounting or mocking their concerns is neither an answer nor proper in this constitutional republic," Mastriano wrote.

The senator charged that there is a strong case for an investigation, noting that 2.7 million mail-in ballots were counted in the 2020 election, compared to just 263,000 in the prior presidential election.

The Pennsylvania Department of State, which said a risk-limiting audit of the 2020 election confirmed the election results, did not respond to a request for comment.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro vowed during an appearance on MSNBC this week that he would fight back if lawmakers tried triggering an Arizona-style election review in Pennsylvania.

An election assessment conducted in Fulton County, Pennsylvania uncovered several major issues but the team that performed the review alleged the election was well-run and that there were no signs of fraud despite the problems.

Democrat Joe Biden beat former President Donald Trump by about 80,000 votes in the 2020 election.
