In election fraud quest, GOP seeks details on who voted

Republicans in Pennsylvania’s Senate pursuing what they call a “forensic investigation” of last year’s presidential election said Tuesday they plan to subpoena records that detail who voted, including their driver’s license number and the last four digits of their Social Security number, and whether they voted by mail or in-person.

Senate Republicans have scheduled a meeting Wednesday of the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee, which they control, to vote to issue subpoenas for the information from Gov. Tom Wolf's administration.

The request for records on who voted will include their name, address, driver's license number, the last four digits of their Social Security number and how they voted, whether in-person, by mail, absentee or provisional ballot.

Republicans also want that information for each registered voter, as of Nov. 1, 2020, plus the last time they voted. In addition to that, Republicans say they plan to issue subpoenas for records of communication between Wolf's administration and counties concerning elections from May 1, 2020, through May 1, 2021.

Note: Am wondering just how close this will be to figuring out who you voted for (guess secret balloting is out). It would also be interesting if they address the extremely high percentage of registered voters who showed up in a lot of the rural PA counties; some counties in the PA hinterlands had voter turnout north of 75%, which made the vote a lot closer than expected.

Let's see how they like it when it is "The Deep State" looking at THEIR information.

The only difference here in NC is that it's by voter registration number rather than last four digits of the SSN.

A lot of counties in western PA are red or 50/50, so those folks might be a little worried.

Let's face it, Repukes have to cheat to win, and gerrymandering is one of their favorite ways to cheat. Getting a secret voters' datasheet would make it easier for them when it comes time to making up the new District maps.

It's what they did last time, and THAT's why we need to stop this.
