The inquiry is modeled after Arizona’s election audit led by a 2020 election conspiracy theorist.

There will almost certainly be court battles over the subpoena in the weeks ahead. The Democratic governor has promised to fight elements of the subpoena, noting that other portions of the request are already publicly available. The subpoena seeks driver’s license numbers, addresses, and the last four digits of the social security numbers of Pennsylvania registered voters, as well as whether or not they voted by mail in 2020.

, it is illegal to publicly release a voter’s driver’s license number and Social Security number in the state.If the subpoena succeeds, Republican officials have acknowledged it could end up in the hands of private vendors affiliated with Donald Trump’s campaign to delegitimize the 2020 election. The Pennsylvania inquiry comes in the wake of a similar effort in Arizona and efforts in Wisconsin and Georgia by Republican-led legislatures to revisit the 2020 election, pursuing claims of fraud by the former president that have been widely debunked. In Arizona, a group called Cyber Ninjas—run by a 2020 election conspiracy theorist—has for months conducted a so-called audit of the Maricopa County election results that has not followed typical audit procedure.
