HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Philadelphia’s elections oversight board is sending out a letter rejecting a Republican state senator’s request for access to its voting machines for a “forensic investigation” into former President Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection defeat. The Office of the City Commissioners voted unanimously Friday to turn down the request. They're telling Franklin County Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano that Philadelphia won't participate in his proposed analysis. It's the second rejection in two days of Mastriano’s effort to get access to voting equipment and records in three counties.
