A Political Civil War Over Election Audit in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is in the midst of a political civil war over whether or not to hold an election audit.

The move requires her office to provide a cache of recent election information.

"It has been made plain that the Department of State and acting Secretary of State Degraffenreid are not willing to participate in this investigation into the 2020 general election and the 2021 primary election, and how the election code is working after the sweeping changes of act 77 of 2020," Cris Dush, the committee majority chair, said in the opening comments of the meeting.

Act 77 extended the deadline to register to vote from 15 days to 30 days before an election.

It also extended mail-in and absentee submission deadlines from the Friday before an election to 8 p.m. on Election Day.

All communications between the Department of State and any county election director and other election officials.

A copy of every version of directives, guidance, policies and procedures in effect during relevant dates, relating to elections, election systems, mail-in ballot applications, ballots, polling places, or poll watchers.
