Mr. Mastriano also told WEEO-FM that his group would take the “information back to the Senate leadership” in Harrisburg and “back-brief them on the way ahead.”
“And then hopefully we can come up with an approach here to make sure every person in Pennsylvania can rest assured they have one vote, and it counts,” he said.
After viewing the procedure in Maricopa County, Mr. Mastriano said he was impressed by the controls put in place by the auditors.
“This audit is so secure, transparent and organized that other states want to duplicate the process,” he said.
Arizona Senate Republicans ordered the audit of the 2.1 million ballots in Maricopa, the state’s most populous county. The count is about halfway completed. President Biden won the county by about 45,000 votes.

Arizona Democrats scored a huge victory on Wednesday when they stopped a bill requiring that voters provide proof when returning their early ballot.
Democrats defeated Senate Bill 1713 on a 31-29 vote. The bill would have required voters to provide their date of birth and an acceptable ID, such as an Arizona driver’s license, voter registration number or Tribal ID.
An important word of caution, though.
“Remember nothing is ever completely dead until #SineDie,” Democratic Rep. Raquel Terán said on Twitter about the fact that lawmakers can revive legislation until they actually end the session. “But #1713 has less of a chance today.”
