In the lawsuit filed on Thursday, Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) asked a court to block a subpoena to election officials, which request voter information as part of an investigation into the election.<\/p>\n<p>In the filing, Shapiro claimed the subpoena has no legitimate legislative purpose. Shapiro also claimed requests for information on voters is \u201cillegal, unconstitutional and unenforceable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe plan to argue in court that these subpoenas violate those rights without any justifiable legislative purpose,\u201d said Shapiro.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My office has been flooded with calls from Pennsylvanians who do not want their private data released.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re right.
