Witnesses at a congressional committee meeting say Election Day shortages of the paper needed to run voting machinery caused significant problems in a northeastern Pennsylvania county in November.

The Pennsylvania Department of State also declined to testify, telling Steil in a March 22 letter that the statewide elections agency did not want to interfere in or compromise the results of Sanguedolce's investigation.

Sanguedolce, who watched the hearing, declined to comment afterward on his investigation or when he might disclose its findings. Sanguedolce said he “wouldn't narrow it to a criminal investigation,” noting his office has jurisdiction to look into anything involving voter irregularity. The hearing included claims that paper shortages were widespread, questions about the procedures used to cast emergency or provisional ballots, and reports some voters were unable to cast ballots at all. There was also testimony about employee turnover problems within Luzerne's elections office.
