Pennsylvania Democrats sue over GOP election 'investigation'

Pittsburg Post Gazette

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARRISBURG — Democrats in Pennsylvania's state Senate sued Friday evening in a state court to block a Republican-approved subpoena seeking voter information and to put a stop to what Republicans call a “forensic investigation” of last year’s presidential election.

Democrats had said they would sue within days after the Republican-controlled Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee voted Wednesday to issue a subpoena.

The subpoena seeks detailed state election records, including communication with counties and the names of who voted in last year’s presidential election, their birth date, address, driver’s license number and the last four digits of their Social Security number.

and at least a good guess at the birthplace, it's not all that hard to figure out SSN.

No idea if that's true or not.

I thought we voted via SECRET ballot. If the GQP gets its way here they would be able to tell for whom each and every voter in the state voted.
