PA Election Investigation — Restoring Faith in Our Elections

In order to identify and address election irregularities and strengthen our voting laws, the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee is conducting a thorough investigation into the 2020 General Election and the 2021 Primary Election. 

Our work will build upon previous reviews by the Senate Special Committee on Election Integrity and Reform and the House State Government Committee. However, our approach will be focused on digging much deeper into the problems and irregularities that have been reported in the system and working to rectify those issues.

Senator Cris Dush

A Responsible, Thoughtful and Transparent Investigation

The investigation will include public hearings, eyewitness testimony from Pennsylvanians, a deep-dive review into our voting system, and recommendations for legislative improvements. The goal is to create a fair, transparent process everyone can believe in.

Subpoenas Issued

The Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee met on September 15, 2021, to approve a subpoena for data, communications and other materials from the Pennsylvania Department of State.

Read the full language of the subpoena here.

This information will be critical to the committee’s review of our elections, providing a clearer picture of potential problems with the state’s voter registration system and any other voting irregularities.

A Crisis of Confidence in PA Voting Systems

Public opinion polls have revealed a troubling crisis of confidence in our election system.

Without a thorough investigation of our elections, these problems will continue to fester and discourage participation in the democratic process.

Election Action Timeline

August 24, 2020 – Senate introduces election reform legislation that contains:

  • Mail-in and absentee ballot signature verification
  • Pre-canvassing
  • Poll watcher & worker reforms
  • Opportunities for voters to obtain ballots earlier
  • Mail-in/absentee ballot application deadline
  • Secure ballot return locations

August 27, 2020 – Governor outlines election reforms that mirrors Senate legislation.

September 2, 2020 – House passes House Bill 2626, a similar bill to the one proposed by the Senate. Governor Wolf vows to veto the bill.

Week of September 14, 2020 – Negotiations near completion on an election reform bill that will pass the House, Senate, and be signed by the Governor.

September 17, 2020 – The PA Supreme Court (PASC) rules on election reform lawsuits, and Senate Republican leaders issue a statement in response: PA Supreme Court Ruling Undermines Election Security. The ruling derails all negotiations for an agreed-to election reform bill. The PASC rules:

  1. Drop Boxes were permitted because the Election Code allowed returns of ballots to “the county board of election,” which is permitted under the Code to operate out of its office and other locations it may choose – which could include utilizing drop boxes if it so chooses.
  2. Deadline for Return of Absentee/Mail-in Ballots –
    1. All ballots postmarked by Election Day and received by the Board of Elections by 5 pm on the Friday following the election would be counted,
    2. Ballots postmarked after Election Day would not count regardless of when they are received,
    3. Any ballot received by 5 pm on Friday following the election would count even if it did not have a postmark as long as there was no other indication that the ballot had been submitted to the postal service for delivery after Election Day (i.e., if the ballot was dated after Election Day by the voter).
  3. Curing Defects in the Absentee and Mail-in Ballots failure to submit a ballot in the required secrecy envelope or with a completed declaration would invalidate the ballot, as the Election Code did not provide for a process that the ballot could be cured; any such notice and cure process would need to be legislated.

September 22, 2020 – Senate Republicans file with PASC for a stay of their September 17 decision on the extension of the deadline for the receipt of ballots. This was a required step before they could file with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).

September 28, 2020 – Senate Republicans file with SCOTUS for a stay of the PASC decision on the extension of the deadline for the receipt of ballots. They file an appeal of that ruling at the same time.

October 10, 2020 – A federal judge in Western District Court dismisses Trump campaign lawsuit seeking to block drop boxes, require signatures on ballots, require matching signatures, and non-resident poll watchers.

October 17, 2020 – After being denied intervention by the PASC in the signature matching case for which they accepted Kings’ Bench; Senate Republicans file an amicus brief arguing PA Election Code requires signature matching.

October 23, 2020 – Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman issues a statement in response to a PASC decision on signature verification: Supreme Court Issues Decision Based on Boockvar’s Interpretation that Signatures Required on Mail-In Ballots are Meaningless.

October 23, 2020 – Commonwealth Court and federal court issue decisions on poll watchers. The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court and a Judge in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania find that the offices and satellite offices of the County Boards of Elections were not polling locations at which poll watchers were permitted.

October 28, 2020 – SCOTUS takes up constitutional concerns raised by Senate leadership:

  • SCOTUS declines to expedite a hearing but said guidance by Boockvar indicated that late-arriving ballots would be segregated meaning our Constitutional concerns could still be addressed after the election.
  • Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas indicate there was a ‘strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the Federal Constitution’ and they may hear this case after the election. 

November 2, 2020: The Secretary of the Commonwealth, Kathy Boockvar, issues an email late in the evening to County boards with conflicting and confusing guidance on ballot curing. The email suggests that County boards could contact voters to notify them that their ballot had been rejected so that they could go to the polls on Election Day to vote by provisional ballot. The PASC had previously found that the failure to submit a ballot in the required secrecy envelope or with a completed declaration would invalidate the ballot, as the Election Code did not provide for a process that the ballot could be cured; any such notice and cure process would need to be legislated.

November 3, 2020 – Senate Republican leadership issue a statement calling for Boockvar’s immediate resignation.

November 3, 2020 – General Election Day.

November 4, 2020 – Majority Leader Jake Corman hosts a news conference to outline the litany of election concerns and reiterate his call for Boockvar’s resignation.

November 6, 2020 – Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman hosts a news conference on preserving the integrity of PA election results.

November 6, 2020 – Corman voices support for Speaker of the House Bryan Cutler’s call for an audit of election results prior to certification.

November 6/7, 2020 – SCOTUS issues a decision saying it was not aware of the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s original guidance, which had an ‘important bearing on the question whether to order special treatment of the ballots in question had been modified.’ Senator Corman issues a statement on how this decision underscores concerns about Boockvar’s constantly changing guidance.

November 12, 2020 – Senate Republicans file an amicus brief in support of a Trump campaign filing in Middle District Court. The Trump campaign case says that some counties (Democratic leaning) allowed voters to “cure” ballots that were going to be disqualified while other counties (Republican leaning) did not allow it. The basis of the filing is that “curing” is not permitted under Pennsylvania law. Judge Brann ultimately dismissed the case with prejudice on November 21, 2020. 

November 23, 2020 – Results of the election are provided to the Secretary of the Commonwealth by the counties as “certified”; if there is no contest in the courts to an election, the Governor shall notify the federal government which slate of electors have been chosen by the state.

December 2, 2020 – Senators David Arnold (R-48), Doug Mastriano (R-33), and Mike Regan (R-31) introduce legislation to amend the PA Constitution, regarding when Members of the General Assembly are seated, to allow for December session dates. The motivation for this legislation arose when Pennsylvanians demanded the PA Senate vote to send a different slate of electors to DC following the 2020 General Election. Currently, the PA Constitution states that the Members of the General Assembly begin their term of service on the first day of December, following the election. But, those same members are not sworn-in until the first Tuesday in January, meaning that only 25 Senators and 0 Representatives in the House are actually sitting members able to vote on issues for the month of December between legislative sessions. 

December 3, 2020 – In response to the distrust that grew out of the 2020 general election, Senate and House Republican leaders announce plans to restore confidence in the state’s election system and begin the process of making meaningful reforms, including:

  • The security of voting and manner in which votes are counted,
  • The Secretary of the Commonwealth’s management of the 2020 General Election, and
  • The impact of the state’s Judiciary on the 2020 General Election.

December 7, 2020 – PA Senate Republicans refuse to defend Act 77 and its mail-in balloting provisions in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court because Secretary Boockvar used the PASC to legislate, rewrite, and manipulate the law to gain political advantage. Blatantly partisan actions undermined the integrity and confidence in PA’s election. 

December 8, 2020 – The “Safe Harbor” deadline – if contests of elections have been finalized by this time and results determined by this date, the results of the election (and therefore the selection of the slate of electors) will be deemed conclusive and cannot be subject to challenge. It is the Governor’s obligation under federal law, to notify the federal government of the results of the challenge and which slate has been chosen at the conclusion of those challenges.

December 10, 2020 – Senate Republicans file an amicus brief before SCOTUS as part of a case filed by officials in Texas. The brief took no position on the merits but reiterated that the General Assembly has the authority to set the time, place, and manner of elections and the PASC and Secretary of State have usurped that authority. 

December 14, 2020 – Presidential electors assemble in Harrisburg at noon to officially vote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are lawmakers trying to get my Social Security number and Driver License number?

That information is necessary to help identify any duplicate registrations, fake registrations, and any votes resulting from those ineligible registrations. Having that information allows us to complete a thorough investigation to ensure every vote cast in every election comes from a living, legal, registered voter.

The General Assembly having this information is no different than any other branch of government having this information. Lawmakers frequently have access to this type of information to help constituents manage problems with the Unemployment Compensation system and other concerns, and no problems have been reported.

Hasn’t the state already conducted two audits?

The two audits mandated by the state were completed, but were limited in size and scope. These reviews are routine and not designed to address broader concerns about election security and integrity. Our investigation and audit are intended to go much further.

How will the investigation be funded?

The investigation will be funded through Senate accounts. As such, every effort will be made to minimize costs while still providing a thorough examination of our elections.

Will you do the same type of audit as Arizona?

Although we have learned valuable lessons from Arizona, the process will differ in many ways. We will work with the vendor to determine best practices and allow the investigation to follow wherever the evidence leads.

Vendor Frequently Asked Questions

What experience does the vendor have in investigating elections?

The team at Envoy Sage has decades of experience in research, investigation, program management, and communications, all of which will be necessary to conduct a thorough review of Pennsylvania’s elections. Their team includes analysts, technical professionals, and digital forensic experts who honed their skills during nationally directed operations.

How much is the vendor being paid?

The contract language, available here, shows a cost of approximately $270,000.

Who chose the vendor?

Senator Cris Dush (R-25) in consultation with Senate leadership and Republican members of the Intergovernmental Operations Committee chose the vendor through a rigorous process where merit, competence, impartiality, political affiliations, and more were considered to ensure that the vendor would be more than capable of conducting a fair and thorough investigation of Pennsylvania’s elections.

How will the vendor protect my personal information?

Envoy Sage is well-suited to protect the personal information of Pennsylvania voters, as they not only have handled sensitive information for government agencies, but also have kept classified information safe for the Department of Defense. In fact, much of their team either previously or currently maintains high-level clearances to complete investigations for the most senior levels of government. 

Furthermore, the language protecting voters’ personal information that is included in the Senate’s contract with Envoy Sage is consistent with the language that the Pennsylvania Department of State uses when they contract with third party vendors to maintain the State Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system. If this language is strong enough to safeguard sensitive voter information with the Department’s third-party vendors, then it’s strong enough to do so for this investigation too. 

If you would like to learn more about the contract restrictions placed on the vendor and the protections added to safeguard personal information and taxpayer dollars, the contract language is available here.

What political affiliations does this vendor have?

None – they are not political. The vendor has never worked for a political party or candidate and does not engage in political advocacy. They have worked with the Department of Defense for both Democrat and Republican Administrations. Furthermore, the contract explicitly prohibits the vendor from engaging in any future political activities to ensure this investigation is completed in a professional, non-partisan manner. 

If you would like to learn more about the contract restrictions placed on the vendor and the protections added to prohibit political activities, the contract language is available here.

How can we be sure this vendor will conduct a fair, thorough, and objective review of Pennsylvania elections?

Envoy Sage is committed to conducting a fair, thorough, and impartial investigation into Pennsylvania’s elections. With decades of experience working under both Republican and Democrat Administrations at the federal level and no political affiliations clouding their judgement, Envoy Sage is entering into this project with no pre-conceived notions for what they will or will not find as they investigate the Commonwealth’s election systems and data. Envoy Sage’s team includes analysts, technical professionals, and digital forensic experts who investigated countless matters of national significance throughout their careers. 

Envoy Sage’s impressive and extensive investigative resume, coupled with the strict guidelines baked into the contract to ensure that the investigation is impartial and thorough, speaks to Envoy Sage’s ability to produce legitimate and useful results. 

If you would like to learn more about the contract restrictions placed on the vendor and the protections added to prohibit political activities, protect the personal information of Pennsylvania voters, and ensure a fair and objective review of our elections, the contract language is available here.

How long has this vendor been in the business of conducting investigations?

Envoy Sage personnel have decades of experience in research, investigation, program management, and communications, all of which will be necessary to conduct a thorough review of Pennsylvania’s elections. Envoy Sage’s team has been involved in conducting high-level investigations through many iterations of the company. The President only recently sold his previous investigative and analytics business and merged it with another company because it was so successful.
