Pennsylvania Senate Chairman Initiates Forensic Probe of 2020, 2021 Elections

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

State Sen. Doug Mastriano, a Republican, issued letters to several counties requesting information and materials that he said would enable an investigation.

The counties, which includes Philadelphia and York counties, represent different geographical regions and include ones that lean Republican and others that lean Democrat, Mastriano said in an op-ed sent to news outlets.

โ€œThis 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,โ€ 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. He also noted that many of the ballots were counted without signature verification.

โ€œIt would defy logic to assume that an election with the kinds of drastic changes we saw in 2020 was run perfectly with zero errors or fraud,โ€ he said.

Mastriano sent the letters in his capacity as chairman of the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee, which is tasked with overseeing and investigating activities conducted by two or more governments or levels of government.

Federal law mandates counties keep records that are being sought for 22 months after an election. The counties were told to produce the information by July 31.

If one or more counties do not comply, Mastriano plans to convene his committee and ask members to grant him subpoena power to force compliance.

โ€œMy goal is to find out if our elections were safe and secure and if they werenโ€™t, what went wrong and how are we going to address this,โ€ the senator said on โ€œThe John Fredericks Showโ€ on Wednesday.
