They want to audit 2020 results but only in large counties almost off of which Biden won. They won the state. This is like Trump whining after he won in 2016. It’s disgusting.

The latest on the Trump cult attempt to do an audit in PA
A push for an Arizona-style “audit” of Trump’s election loss in Pennsylvania is being bolstered by support from prominent Republican candidates on the 2022 campaign trail for governor and US Senate. Via @AP: https://t.co/PKYOCrfCOk

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:
— Jonathan Lai 🙊 賴柏羽 (@Elaijuh) July 9, 2021
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.
