Judge rejects request for forensic audit of 2020 election in Pa. county

[RandySF]

WILLIAMSPORT – There will not be a forensic audit of the 2020 general election in Lycoming County as sought by two members of the conservative Patriots organization.

County Judge Eric R. Linhardt on Wednesday dismissed the complaint in which Richard Houser and Catherine Burns contended there was evidence of fraud, irregularities and violations of the Election Code.

They also claimed the county commissioners and director of elections Forrest K. Lehman failed to adequately investigate their claims of election fraud in the county.

In his ruling, Linhardt pointed out there is no provision in the state Election Code compelling the board of elections through an independent third party to conduct the audit that was requested.

The judge further found that Houser and Burns did not strictly adhere to the statutory requirements for contesting an election after the results are certified.

3. Nothing about being being 🦇 shitcrazy from the judge??

Didn’t need to get around to that due to failure to lawyer competently.

Must of been a relief to the judge not to dwell too much on the conspiracy theory level evidence dumped on the poor judiciary.
