David Argall, R-Schuykill, said legislation or a resolution in the chamber to commission some sort of audit remains a possibility in June. A key member of Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives is flatly rejecting talk of any sort of audit of the 2020 presidential election, a day after three fellow Republican state lawmakers toured the Arizona Senate GOP’s audit. Now, Pennsylvania lawmakers will get an up-close look at Fann’s Election Audit review inside Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, perhaps to replicate the effort in their home state. The Pennsylvania auditor general says the state needs to improve the accuracy of its voter registration records. "The Department of State must work harder to verify that registration records are accurate and up to date," DePasquale said. DePasquale also said the Department of State does not adequately document that it regularly monitors each county’s work to verify data is entered correctly or that the system has enough tools to help prevent data entry errors. Incorporating edit checks and other improvements into the design of the replacement system for SURE will reduce data errors and improve accuracy. Rob Kauffman, will meet with Arizona Republicans at the Capitol before taking a tour of the election review underway at the coliseum at the state fairground.












Still, Fann said in May she’s taking calls from lawmakers across the country interested in following the standard she’s set. Arizona Senate President Karen Fann has boasted that lawmakers in other states are earnestly watching the audit and recount she ordered of the 2020 election in Maricopa County. He issued a statement on Friday after a trio of Pennsylvania lawmakers - including state Sens. Fann later hired Wake TSI as part of a team of private firms conducting her election review, and touted the company’s experience in Pennsylvania as evidence they’re qualified to lead a recount of the nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County in November. In a statement Tuesday, Trump said Georgia should be the next state legislature to launch its own audit, following Arizona's lead. "Hillary Clinton lost Pennsylvania to Donald Trump by 44,000 votes, which means even less than 1 percent is still a big number in our state," DePasquale said. Former President Donald Trump urged Pennsylvania Republicans to conduct an audit of the 2020 election, similar to the one in Maricopa County, Arizona. Joe Biden may be the new president-elect - but with President Donald Trump continuing to challenge the results and Senate control up still up for grabs, the story of the election is far from over.












Although it was projected to be a razor-thin victory for Biden, Trump triumphed there by a comfortable 3.3 percentage points. The Republican-controlled Senate is auditing the election results in Maricopa County, the largest county in the state and one won by Joe Biden, in spite of its long history of voting for Republican candidates. These types of audits can confirm that voting systems tabulated the paper ballots accurately enough that a full hand count would produce the same outcome. But not all citizens are aware of how elections work or have the same confidence in Maine’s system and a post-election audit would be a way not only to boost confidence but also to find flaws in the system to make it better, she said. You can make sure your information is accurate here. Voters can check their own information online. Except in very very close contests, the sample size for an audit can be a very small subset of the ballots - perhaps only in the hundreds, for example.












RLAs examine a random sample of paper ballots, comparing the votes on paper to the totals reported by the vote-counting machines to ensure that the winner actually won. Counties conducted an audit using a statistical sample of 400 ballots cast in the June 2, 2020, presidential primary that were randomly selected from across the state. Pennsylvania is one of the first states in the nation to pioneer pilots of the risk-limiting audit (RLA), a scientifically designed procedure using statistical methods to confirm whether reported election outcomes are correct and to detect possible interference. GOP Pennsylvania state Sens. On Friday GOP State senators vowed to continue their push to perform their own forensic audit and announced they had hired their own auditing firm. Earlier Facebook said it would only label misinformation about the overall presidential race, not individual state races. Will Recount Expand to Other Races? Note that these are the first audits of physical paper ballots and the suspicion is that they will not match the voter tabulations because of "unauthorized activity".
