Pennsylvania State Capital Bureau Pennsylvania was the most-watched state in the election, and it is becoming the most-watched state after the insurrection. Nearly two dozen Pennsylvanians have been arrested or charged in connection with the Jan. 6 mob attack at the U.S. Capitol. With 23 arrests as of Sunday, Pennsylvania has more than any other state, according to a USA TODAY analysis. Why and how the commonwealth ended up with so many arrests is being questioned and analyzed by political scientists and politicians alike. Pennsylvania Democrats are blaming Republicans for spreading former President Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claims that the election was stolen.
