The PA House of Representatives has passed a resolution that would ask for a risk-limiting audit of the 2020 General Election.
House Resolution 1100 will allow the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to hire an outside agency to complete the audit to find out what went right and what went wrong during the 2020 general election. This was the first time the general election had expanded mail-in balloting for those outside of standard absentee ballots. The LBFC was chosen to fulfill the resolution because they are a bipartisan organization made up of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans from the state House and Senate, and the committee can continue to work even though the general assembly session comes to an end at the end of the month.
State Representative Jim Struzzi voted in favor of the resolution, saying that the audit will not focus on the results.
Republicans Cris Dush and Jeff Pyle also voted in favor of the resolution, while Democrat Joe Petrarca voted against it.
