Republican lawmakers in Harrisburg want personal information on every registered voter in Pennsylvania, as well as a trove of communications between state and county election officials, in their continued and contested push for a new review of the 2020 election.

A sweeping subpoena crafted by GOP lawmakers and due for a Senate committee vote today requests the name, address, and partial social security number of every voter registered as of last November, Spotlight PA reports. 

It also seeks copies of any guidance by the Department of State to county election administrators, all training materials used to prepare county-level election workers to count votes, and any changes made to voter rolls.

Gov. Tom Wolf's office says it has yet to receive the subpoena but remains strongly opposed to the effort, which it likens to a widely discredited election review in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Republicans, meanwhile, say they're prepared to fight any litigation by the Wolf administration or others all the way to Pennsylvania's highest court.

THE CONTEXT: Combing through the thousands of documents that could pour in from the subpoena would fall to staff and attorneys for the Senate's Intergovernmental Operations Committee, which is leading the review.

There is no set budget for the investigation, which critics say will unnecessarily cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

Republicans say they believe the sweeping review is necessary to ensure there were no irregularities in last year's election — even though the GOP's own leaders have acknowledged they have no evidence of fraud.

Across the aisle, Democrats in the state legislature say the effort is a baseless partisan attack meant to undermine President Joe Biden's victory.
