This news obviously shocked the Democrat state leaders in Pennsylvania. Late Friday the Pennsylvania Department of State issued a directive prohibiting county election boards from cooperating with the Senate's election audit. According to the directive from the Secretary of State's office: Elections officials may not turn over election material to third parties. Any equipment turned over to a third party cannot be used again in an election. The state will not reimburse counties for the cost of replacement equipment.
