HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Republican-majority county board in rural northern Pennsylvania is accusing a state senator of creating “unnecessary chaos” in pushing for a detailed review of how the county collected and counted votes in President Donald Trump’s reelection defeat last year. The three Tioga County commissioners all read portions of a statement at a board meeting Tuesday. They're urging Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano to reverse his demand that Tioga and two other counties turn over election records and equipment to the Intergovernmental Operations Committee that he chairs. Mastriano didn't respond to messages seeking comment.
