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.

Why are Democrats so worried about the 2020 election fraud? If nothing else and no fraud is found, it would give the Dems confidence that the next elections will also be “clean as a whistle”.
One would think that Democrats would want to demonstrate the integrity of their election?
“President Donald Trump’s baseless claims”...
There it is again. That is used in every lying leftist media so-called reports.
How does the AP know it is a baseless claim unless it is investigated claim.
They never said Russian collusion was a baseless claim.
Your response is inevitable in any thread about audits and fraud investigation. It’s correct they would shove it in our faces and show us how stupid we were to question Biden’s overwhelming victory. Instead they try to stifle the truth from coming out.

How can the legislature sue itself?
A judge shouldn’t even give this the time of day.
