Another county raises objection to lawmaker’s election audit
Associated PressHARRISBURG, Pa. — Another Pennsylvania county targeted for an Arizona-style “forensic investigation” of the 2020 presidential election being pushed by former President Donald Trump is raising strong objections to a sweeping demand for access to its voting equipment and records. York County’s three commissioners — two Republican and one Democrat — wrote this week to the Republican state lawmaker seeking the information and raised questions about the legality of his demand, the cost to the county and their lack of staff to complete the project. York County responded a week after receiving the five-page request from Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano, who has talked of possibly running for governor and claimed that Trump “asked me” to run. In their four-page letter, York County’s commissioners said “we could more properly consider such request” if Mastriano were to answer their questions. Among their questions are who Mastriano envisions giving access to York County’s election equipment, bought at a cost of $2.7 million, they said.
