I wonder why Tioga County is included? That’s solid Trump country up there, Trump won by almost a 5-1 margin.
Statewide voting results on Wednesday morning had Trump up by a margin of 53% to 47% for Biden. Then, with mail in ballots and absentee ballots counted Biden ended up winning. A miracle? The entire state should undergo an audit, not just 3 counties!
I heard the original plan was a representative sample from every county but I think you only need a representative sample of the state. Although they could be looking at other races as well.
Perhaps to provide contrast between correctly followed and incorrectly followed election procedures. I am not certain. Mastriano also said he had requests from counties for a forensic audit that are not included in the original list of three counties. I assume those requests are coming from Republican counties if that is the case. My last count of Republican vs. Democrat counties in PA is 56 to 11. It is possible that there is fraud in Republican counties. My wish list of the first round of counties would have included Montgomery County. There have been indications that there is more fraud there than in Philadelphia county. Philadelphia county votes 80+% Democrat. There is actually less a "need" for fraud there. If one was to target a county ripe for fraud, they would choose a county that is Democratic, but with a larger number of Republican votes to flip.
