In reply to the discussion: Subpoenas Issued for Info on Every Pennsylvania Voter as Part of 2020 Election Probe [View all]BumRushDaShow
(170,179 posts)66. My congressman already sent out a fundraising email on this last night
And this is obviously one of the, if not the bluest district in the state, but is a reminder that we have to rally come election time next year and why.
PA GOP want your personal information
Pennsylvania Republicans want your driver's license number, date of birth, and other personal info as part of their "election investigation,"
This is a gross abuse of power, plain and simple.
The PA GOP is using the "Big Lie" to contract a sham investigator to look into Pennsylvania's 2020 election results that they believe are fraudulent. This hyper-partisan investigation could result in even more restrictive voting laws that suppress voters of color and circumvent our democracy.
It has been ten months since the 2020 election. President Biden won our state by more than 80,000 votes -- fair and square. Donald Trump is no longer president. Period.
There's so much facing our nation that's more pressing than re-litigating the results of a free and fair election -- the COVID-19 pandemic for one. I'm fighting back to make sure that the power rests with the people -- not with shady politicians and their corrupt agendas. This democracy depends on it.
Misinformation has consequences. We must fight for the truth. If you're with me in the fight to defend our democracy from the PA GOP's wasteful investigation and peddling of falsehoods, sign your name next to mine now.
Thank you,

That is exactly my point. The subpoenas will not stand judicial review because they are not lawful.

The Penna GOP lost attempts to do so previously, I believe. Hence the legislative attempt

Data collection by the authoritarian party. That doesn't bode well for individual PA voters.

So much for a secret ballot. What an over reach and invasion of privacy! If I lived in PA, I'd sue.

Conservatives are not terrified of what they have wanted to do to the American voter for decades.

What do they need SS numbers and DL numbers for? Hacking into our bank accounts?
