GOP's election inquiry: Courts, conspiracies and more costs
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Republican inquiry into Pennsylvania’s 2020 presidential election inspired by former President Donald Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud has spawned several court cases as it expands into multiple courses of inquiry, grows in cost and shows signs it will drag well into 2022.
The Republican pursuit has received a broad embrace by GOP candidates on the campaign trail. On Friday, the state GOP scheduled an hourlong presentation on it at the party’s closed-press winter meeting in Lancaster.
The undertaking comes after Trump and his supporters have pressured allies in battleground states he lost to seek out fraud to validate their conspiracy theories. Senators leading what they call an “investigation” in Pennsylvania have yet to report any findings.
As it drags on, it is looking more and more like the partisan and widely criticized “audit” that Arizona's Senate Republicans carried out of heavily populated Maricopa County in a battleground state won — like Pennsylvania — by Democrat Joe Biden.
