HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Democrats in Pennsylvania’s state Senate sued Friday evening in a state court to block a Republican-approved subpoena seeking voter information and to put a stop to what Republicans call a “forensic investigation” of last year’s presidential election.
Democrats had said they would sue within days after the Republican-controlled Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee voted Wednesday to issue a subpoena.
The subpoena seeks detailed state election records, including communication with counties and the names of who voted in last year’s presidential election, their birth date, address, driver’s license number and the last four digits of their Social Security number.
The subpoena is an outgrowth of former President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that he was cheated out of victory last November, and ongoing pressure by Trump and his allies for battleground states where he lost to investigate the election.
“The latest ploy by the Senate Republicans is unprecedented and completely unwarranted,” Democrats said in a statement. “All aspects of the certified 2020 election have been thoroughly reviewed and adjudicated in the courts with no findings of irregularities or fraud. The timeframe to contest the 2020 certified election results is long overdue.”
The 53-page lawsuit, filed by all 21 Senate Democrats, contends that the Senate Republican bid to investigate the election illegally treads on the court’s duties, violates state law over election audits and seeks information that is barred from public disclosure.

Guilty .
Smart move. They control the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The lawsuit is as good as won.
Notice how the AP puts the word “investigation” into quotes, suggesting it’s a sham? Did they EVER do that with any of the anti-Trump investigations, e.g., the Mueller “investigation”? Of course not.
I can’t stand baseless articles from the baseless AP.
The obama/zuckerberg plan was to have lawyers lined up even before the 2020 election to contest every thing the republicans countered with. If our nation is completely lost, those two bear as much responsibility as any.
The PA Supreme Court is 5-2 leftists. If the USSC is unwilling to get involved PA will never have any audit.
Shows they have something to hide, otherwise they’d WELCOME an audit - to shove in the Repubs faces, if anything.
I’ll never believe Pennsylvania went for Biden. Never.
An admission of guilt. Execute all vote cheaters. Such a crime should carry the death penalty.
Why would they need approval from them to have an audit?
Ah! Yes. That ‘baseless’ thing again. Thank you AP.
Your answer on SCOTUS involvement happened long before January 6, even.
1. How much money do you have?
2. Send it in.
We need to bring DC to it’s knees. Convention of states. America is not meant to be the unholy love child of East Germany and Red China.
Funny how the Dems never fail to act guilty as hell.
Baseless AP?
Who decides that? You?
The AP’s worse than the OJ Simpson jurh

What do they have to hide?
Apparently, a great deal!
Rats see grey-bar hotels in their futures. Complete with cell meal and laundry service.
They won. Why do they care if there is a forensic audit?
I’m sure these democrats would like to put to rest that the election was stolen. Right?
Why so much screaming from democrats? In GA, AZ, WI, MI and now PA.
The democrats should welcome these audit to prove President Trump wrong. Right?
