Election Review - XCVI
Today, finally, PA Republicans issued a subpoena to the Department of State that included seeking
personal information about voters in the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee’s
probe of the 2020 election; included were voter records that illustrate the approach adopted
toward achieving a ‘forensic audit’ along the following specific lines [“agnostic critique” infra]:
1) Any and all communications (emails, letters, notes of calls and/or meetings, or
otherwise) from the Department of State to any County Election Director or
member of a County’s Elections Board between May 1, 2020 and May 31, 2021.
3) All training materials used to train County election workers, poll workers, poll
watchers, Judges of Election, inspectors, clerks, and all persons who staffed
voting offices between August 1, 2020 and May 31, 2021.
4) A complete list containing the name, date of birth, driver’s license number, last
four digits of social security number, address, and date of last voting activity of all
registered voters within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as of May 1, 2021,
by County.
5) A complete list containing the name, date of birth, driver’s license number, last
four digits of social security number, address, and date of last voting activity of all
registered voters within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as of November 1,
2020, by County.
6) A complete list containing the name, date of birth, driver’s license number, last
four digits of social security number, and address of all individuals who voted in
person in the November 2020 General Election, by County.

four digits of social security number, and address of all individuals who voted by
mail-in ballot in the November 2020 General Election, by County.
8) A complete list containing the name, date of birth, driver’s license number, last
four digits of social security number, and address of all individuals who voted by
absentee ballot in the November 2020 General Election, by County.
9) A complete list containing the name, date of birth, driver’s license number, last
four digits of social security number, and address of all individuals who voted by
provisional in the November 2020 General Election, by County.
10) A complete list containing the name, date of birth, driver’s license number,
last four digits of social security number, and address of all individuals who voted
in person in the May 2021 Primary Election, by County.

last four digits of social security number, and address of all individuals who voted
by absentee ballot in the May 2021 Primary Election, by County.
13) A complete list containing the name, date of birth, driver’s license number,
last four digits of social security number, and address of all individuals who voted
by provisional in the May 2021 Primary Election, by County.
14) A complete list of all changes to voter records made between May 31, 2020
and May 31, 2021.
15) A copy of the certified results for each and every race and/or ballot question
on the 2020 General or 2021 Primary elections.
16) A copy of all reports of audits and/or reviews of the SURE system conducted
by or for the Department of State between 2018 and the present, including, but
not limited to, any audits conducted under 25 Pa.C.S. 1803(a).
17) A copy of the annual reports submitted to the Department in 2021 pursuant
to 4 Pa. Code 183.17.
As desirable as this initial foray appears to be, compare/contrast with what “Audit the Vote PA”
would request, for the splay between these listings reflects the potential difference between only
confirming what the statewide entity wrote/did vs. what occurred within the “machinery”;
indeed, although an instant-transcript isn’t yet available, I believe I heard the Chair concede lack
of interest in [1]—challenging certification/electors (at the onset), and [2]—probing what
occurred within the counties/precincts (near the end). The following is viewable as a subset of
under-oath admissions that I had painstakingly/uniquely distilled from transcripts of the ten
House State Government Committee hearings (STILL carrying a grossly unappreciated WHALLOP),
but a far superior opening gambit if the pathophysiology of what occurred is to be elucidated:

Awareness of such granular detail is vital and, perhaps, reflects the approach that Sen. Mastriano
had wanted to adopt; that he was represented today with a proxy is a sad commentary on how
Sen. Corman has ostracized him unjustly. More evidence of aberrations/fraud has been compiled,
pulling key-info from national resources into how these data impact PA’s experience; also noted
is the predictable dispute of a PA legal group’s finding on ‘unknown’ ballots by the government.
Commentary
Due to omission of key/expansive input of “Audit the Vote PA” and of myself, the initial subpoenae
are deficient; it’s possible that this approach is intended to establish a database upon which the
future subpoenae can be superimposed, for the vulnerability thereof was limited to decrying the
inclusion of personally identifiable data and to alleged uncertainty as to the credibility of the
entities that might enjoy access thereto. Regarding the former, what’s requested is basic info that
permits x-ruffing data from multiple sites; regarding the latter, the ability of lefties to access the
registration sites yields the inevitable conclusion of hypocrisy again abounding among Dems.
Nevertheless, the “trust but verify” posture remains applicable to what Sens. Corman/Dush did,
particularly in the absence of a timeframe within which the data (or litigation attacking the filing,
a far more likely outcome) can emerge; although it’s going to be necessary to review transcripts,
I hope I mis-heard Sen. Dush disclaim interest in probing—for example—blockage of oversight
that blatantly occurred in Philly @ the PA Convention Center, for under-oath testimony by perps
(again, note both House/Senate State Government Committee admissions) cries for a probe.
In this regard, noted is how the “Audit the Vote PA” listing includes seeking Philly-contracts; thus,
in the regrettable absence of Sen. Mastriano from the public hearings [today and last Thursday],
it is all the more vital that each step-of-the-way be monitored and demonstrably NOT dilatory.
