Subpoenas Issued for Info on Every Pennsylvania Voter as Part of 2020 Election Probe

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Source: Newsweek

A Pennsylvania Senate subcommittee has voted to approve 17 subpoenas for personal information on every voter in the state as part of the Republican-controlled Legislature's investigation into the 2020 election.

On Wednesday, Republican lawmakers voted to subpoena Democratic Governor Tom Wolf's administration for voter records, communication between state and county election officials, and other documents as part of their probe.

The subpoena on voter information will include the last four digits of social security numbers and driver's license numbers of those who voted in last year's presidential election. Pennsylvania law prohibits the public release of that information.

State Republicans also want to know how each person voted—by mail or in-person, absentee or provisional ballot—and when each ballot was casted, both in the presidential election and May's primary election.

1. What's next? They gonna publish it?

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. This doesn't just have a whiff, it positively reeks of desperation.

And intimidation

[SergeStorms]

36. And mailing lists.

As in, "solicitation of donations", and "selling to unaffiliated vendors" type mailing lists.

No one's information had better be used for either of those purposes.

[ashredux]

3. Publish just Dem. voters names and addresses so folks can drop by and chat

[brooklynite]

19. Voter lists and Party affiliations are a matter of public records.

I used to be a Party Committeeman in Philadelphia. You can walk into the local Board of Elections office and request a copy.

[ashredux]

20. Not How they voted

“ State Republicans also want to know how each person voted…”

[brooklynite]

22. Not sure that's true.

The request is not WHO they voted for, but the mechanics of the process (mail in/early/Election Day). As I recall, that's logged in the voter records.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. A request for social security numbers should be nowhere in any subpoena

yet here we are and THAT is not "public record".

[AllaN01Bear]

38. sez right on the card, this is not an id.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. Exactly!

[marie999]

63. Try to buy a car or get a credit card or open a bank account without it.

[Deminpenn]

60. Agree

Especially true if the plan is give the info to some unknown vendor.

If I were a PA Dem running for office in a red area, I'd be jumping on this like a dog on a bone. Conservatives are already inclined to be suspicious of invasions of privacy. I'd be out with ads in a NY minute about how Rs are invading your privacy.

[BumRushDaShow]

66. My congressman already sent out a fundraising email on this last night

And this is obviously one of the, if not the bluest district in the state, but is a reminder that we have to rally come election time next year and why.

PA GOP want your personal information

The Philadelphia Inquirer
​​"Pa. Republicans are set to subpoena documents and hire a contractor for their 2020 election review"

Pennsylvania Republicans want your driver's license number, date of birth, and other personal info as part of their "election investigation,"

This is a gross abuse of power, plain and simple.

The PA GOP is using the "Big Lie" to contract a sham investigator to look into Pennsylvania's 2020 election results that they believe are fraudulent. This hyper-partisan investigation could result in even more restrictive voting laws that suppress voters of color and circumvent our democracy.

It has been ten months since the 2020 election. President Biden won our state by more than 80,000 votes -- fair and square. Donald Trump is no longer president. Period.

There's so much facing our nation that's more pressing than re-litigating the results of a free and fair election -- the COVID-19 pandemic for one. I'm fighting back to make sure that the power rests with the people -- not with shady politicians and their corrupt agendas. This democracy depends on it.

Misinformation has consequences. We must fight for the truth. If you're with me in the fight to defend our democracy from the PA GOP's wasteful investigation and peddling of falsehoods, sign your name next to mine now.

Thank you,

What's problematic is the partial SSN. The last 4 digits is used to verify identity for things like financial information or federal benefits.

24. Their legs must be broke then.

Why use a subpoena if it isn't necessary?

[Bengus81]

75. Yep...the POS with the horns and fur will be released soon enough for voting chat

4. Dems personal voter information in the hands of TalibanGOP. No worries.

5. Jesus H. Christ

Stop this insanity -

This has to be taken to court, I assume

[gab13by13]

8. IMO our DOJ should be all over this.

[gab13by13]

6. This should help them when they gerrymander.

I still want to know why our DOJ didn't get involved in Arizona and now it is happening in other states. Federal election laws are being broken.

[SergeStorms]

37. On the bright side....

republicans are wasting a shitload of money on these exercises in futility.

You have to look for the silver lining, or it'll drive you stark, raving mad.

[Deminpenn]

58. The party registration info has always been available

and was used by the Rs to create the heavily gerry-mandered congressional districts that were tossed out of the PA supreme court as well as the gerry-mandered state house and senate districts.

While it will be used in the upcoming redistricting process, the 5th vote of redistricting commission is held by former Pitt Chancellor Mark Nordenberg, making it less likely the extreme gerry-mandering of past decades will result. The PA supreme court decision should put effective constraints on the new congressional map. Also, the commission is holding open hearings and allowing public submissions of proposed maps.

[LiberalArkie]

7. Someone is building a massive database.

If any party has that data, they can create a program to cast ballots in every ones name. In the south they use to use the newspaper obits to cast ballots. Now the states remove the names of the dead from the voter registration rolls.

[bucolic_frolic]

9. A subpoena for everyone? Gotta be invalid invasion of privacy

They already have all the information in the voter database

[BumRushDaShow]

10. That's why I called Corman a fucking loon

It's not just "lip service" to his nutty constituents.

At least Lt. Gov. Fetterman provided a handy explanation -

[Ford_Prefect]

11. This is a fishing expedition and intimidation under the Civil Rights Act.

For a judge to issue such a subpoena the prosecution would have to show probable cause and evidence to support. I think this won't fly in Penna Supreme Court.

It presumes there is cause to believe there is something wrong with how voters are registered and how that is handled during an election. They have ZERO evidence to suppose it. No witnesses either anonymous or otherwise have asserted such. There is no statistical variance to suggest it may have happened. No independent professionals have suggested they see problems with the election to warrant such a review. We only have the assertion of the GOP controlled Penna Senate that they believe this merits examination.

The Penna GOP lost repeatedly in court over this assertion. So rather than go through the courts they have bypassed legal means and gone to the purely political.

The DOJ has every cause to intervene on the part of voters in a federal election. I think someone at division of Civil Rights should be investigating and file a restraining order on behalf of minority voters at the very least.

[getagrip_already]

23. A judge did not issue a subpoena....

The legislature has subpoena power, but it can be challenged (just like congressional subpoenas).

[Ford_Prefect]

42. That is exactly my point. The subpoenas will not stand judicial review because they are not lawful.

The legislature has overstepped its authority and subverts the state constitution by so doing. It also violates federal protections as we have seen in the Arizona case.

[thenelm1]

51. Any judge with a lick of sense should throw this out as a broad overreach of...

legislative power. The question becomes, of course, is how Trumpian is the PA judicial system?

[Ford_Prefect]

55. The Penna GOP lost attempts to do so previously, I believe. Hence the legislative attempt

to bypass the courts on the way to the data.

[ancianita]

12. Data collection by the authoritarian party. That doesn't bode well for individual PA voters.

Where is the PA law that says a majority in any statehouse can collect data on every state voter? While its pretext is oversight, that claim is really the constitutional challenge of states' rights vs the US Constitution, A1(privacy and anonymity of the vote) and A4 (no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause ).

Pa. Republicans vote to subpoena voter records and personal information in 2020 election probe

It’s the most concrete step the GOP-led legislature has taken to investigate the 2020 election since the top Senate Republican committed to undertaking a review Trump has long demanded.

by Andrew Seidman
Updated an hour ago

Pennsylvania Republicans voted Wednesday to subpoena Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration for detailed records of every registered voter in the state, including personal information like the last four digits of their Social Security numbers. It’s the most concrete step the GOP-led legislature has taken to investigate the 2020 election since the top Senate Republican committed last month to undertaking a review that former President Donald Trump has long demanded as part of his campaign to discredit the results. Democrats said they will challenge the subpoena in court, blasting the inquiry as a “fishing expedition” and raising concerns about sharing millions of voters’ personal information with an outside vendor that hasn’t yet been selected.

Republicans on the state Senate panel that wrote the subpoena said the documents they’re requesting would help show whether any fraud was committed in Pennsylvania, a state President Joe Biden won by more than 80,000 votes. “There have been questions regarding the validity of people... who have voted, whether or not they exist,” Sen. Cris Dush (R., Jefferson), the committee’s chairman, said during a contentious 75-minute hearing. “We’re not responding to proven allegations. We are investigating the allegations to determine whether or not they are factual.” If the investigation uncovers problems with the voter registration system, Dush said, the legislature has a responsibility to pass a bill to “prevent that from happening in future elections.”

State Sen. Steve Santarsiero (D., Bucks) responded: “There have been allegations about last year’s elections. I understand that. They’ve been proven to be without merit. Why do we now need this information?” There’s no evidence to support Trump’s baseless claims of election rigging, which were roundly rejected by courts and which fueled the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. County and state audits found no issue with the results in Pennsylvania. Democrats said only the executive branch — not the Senate — has the authority to conduct the kind of investigation Republicans are undertaking. State Sen. Anthony Williams (D., Philadelphia), the top Democrat on the committee, called the subpoena a “pure, unadulterated power grab” meant “to suppress voters’ rights.”

Dush said he’s in the process of interviewing contractors and will consult with Senate GOP lawyers to determine which materials will be shared with third parties. He said he’s also considering hiring outside counsel. The costs will be paid by taxpayers, out of the Senate’s budget, Dush said.The subpoena — to be issued to the Department of State, which oversees elections — seeks lists of all registered voters and nonpublic information such as driver’s license numbers and partial Social Security numbers, as well as publicly available records like dates of birth and addresses. It also requests information about whether voters cast ballots in person or by mail both last fall and in the May 2021 primary election; all changes to voter records between May 2020 and May 2021; communications between state and county elections officials during that same time period; guidance and directives regarding the administration of elections; and training materials for election workers.

Here is a PDF of the document from the State Senate Committee of the requested info - https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21062797/pennsylvania-senate-intergovernmental-operations-committee-document-list.pdf

Corman removed Mastriano and replaced him with Dush because Mastriano didn't "code talk" it right.

14. Again they are overreaching. And We Democrats are going to slap them down hard again.

These over reaches are just making independents more apt to vote against the Qanoner's in 2022.

17. If Democrats cannot make hay out of this...

Big government releasing personal info on individual voters?

This is the kind of thing that should be terrifying to conservative voters.

50. Conservatives are not terrified of what they have wanted to do to the American voter for decades.

All of their big government crap has been a decades-long ruse.

[Deminpenn]

65. Wrong, imo,

And they have been every time they have been in power. They just don't want information about themselves collected. Everyone else is fair game.

[Deminpenn]

PA Dems need to jump on this right away to frame the issue just as you describe it. Conservatives will go nuts.

[Hortensis]

18. Both political parties have data files on virtually all of us, certainly on voters,

of course. Private companies compile and sell them to the parties. Part of the $Bs costs of electing a president, achieving congressional majorities, or getting control of a state government.

It probably could be useful to the GOP to know such things as who in a particularly key district voted early or at the last moment, who acted to restore a canceled registration and who didn't. Etc.

Social Security numbers are ONLY for Social Security purposes! Employment....

So, what in the world does Social Security numbers have to do with VOTING?

They'll probably analyze those SSN numbers to see if they comport with Benford's Law...


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford%27s_law

Benford's law, also called the Newcomb–Benford law, the law of anomalous numbers, or the first-digit law, is an observation about the frequency distribution of leading digits in many real-life sets of numerical data. The law states that in many naturally occurring collections of numbers, the leading digit is likely to be small.[1] In sets that obey the law, the number 1 appears as the leading significant digit about 30 % of the time, while 9 appears as the leading significant digit less than 5 % of the time. If the digits were distributed uniformly, they would each occur about 11.1 % of the time.[2] Benford's law also makes predictions about the distribution of second digits, third digits, digit combinations, and so on.

[Smackdown2019]

46. Social security numbers have nothing to

SS # has nothing to do with voting. Birth certificates maybe or Real ID maybe to show proof of citizenship, but SS # is for employment or retirement. Not the election judge.

[NurseJackie]

48. Yes. I was speculating why they wanted SSN's. Not justifying it.

[thenelm1]

52. Might be a great help in purging voter rolls. Would you put it by these jerks if enabled? n/t

but connecting the last 4 digits with other information can produce a unique identifier. That's what you need if you are going to match database records. My guess is that's why the Rs want it.

Very richly earned and deserved, and if there is truly any justice, relegating themselves to the scrap heap of history where they truly belong. And hopefully not just in PA either.

The self-righteousness and belief that they are the sole answer to what ails us, mostly about non-existent BS issues, and the continued digging of the hole deeper into the nonsense, versus trying to adjust the message to appeal to more voters is truly mind boggling. They will always have their hardcore believers, but alienating everyone else? Even people who previously voted for them? If somehow they are successful we are truly lost.
