Late last week, state election officials sent a directive to individual counties, which urged them to not allow access to outside parties who seek to examine voting systems.<\/p>\n<p>The directive alleged access by forensic teams would \u201cundermine chain of custody.\u201d State GOP lawmakers said the acting Pennsylvania Secretary of State, appointed by Gov. Tom Wolf (D-Pa.), has tried to cover up the evidence of fraud. However, the forensic investigation was set to continue under the subpoena power of the state legislature.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A forensic investigation of our election results and processes for the 2020 General Election and the 2021 Primary will go a long way to restore trust in our system.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mIL0lqhYIr\">https:\/\/t.co\/mIL0lqhYIr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Doug Mastriano (@SenMastriano) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenMastriano\/status\/1412776736295723008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIn the days and weeks leading up to the election last year\u2026we had the Pennsylvania Department of State repeatedly alter the manner in which elections were conducted,\u201d Sen.
