🚨 New York Times: “President Donald J. Trump pressed top Justice Department officials late last year to declare that the election was corrupt… so that he and his allies in Congress could use the assertion to try to overturn the results.” https://t.co/SLqqFb38xk

HARRISBURG, Pa. (@AP) _ One of three counties targeted by a Pennsylvania state lawmaker for an Arizona-style “forensic investigation” of the state’s 2020 presidential election sought by former President Donald Trump will not allow third-party access to its voting machines.

PA Dept of State moves to prevent counties from participating in Mastriano “audit” and any future ones like it:

New directive tells counties they “shall not provide physical, electronic, or internal access” to election equipment to third parties.https://t.co/uhGj1gBtO5 https://t.co/g2N5BSHXB3

This “forensic audit” is a sham being pushed by one insurrectionist state senator who wants Trump’s approval.

There have already been two legal audits in PA—both confirmed Biden’s win.

That's based on a Trump adviser.

Just so I am understanding correctly, AZ Senate President Karen Fann subpoenaed the Maricopa Board for election equipment. She got it. She turned it over to the Cyber Ninjas and as a result, it’s UNUSABLE now and AZ taxpayers will eat the costs!?
