(Reuters) â A Pennsylvania Republican lawmaker who is an ally of former President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would try to launch a probe of the 2020 election in the battleground state, although a state agency urged counties not to comply with what it called a âsham reviewâ of the voting process.
In a move that parallels a contentious audit going on in Arizona, state Senator Doug Mastriano said he sent letters to âseveral countiesâ seeking information needed for a âforensic investigationâ of the November presidential election and of municipal primaries this past May.
Mastriano, who has repeated Trumpâs baseless claims of widespread fraud in the presidential election, said in a statement that the probe was necessary because millions of Pennsylvania residents doubted the veracity of the 2020 results.
