Former independent counsel Ken Starr testified at a Senate panel hearing that Pennsylvania’s last-minute changes to election laws before the Nov. 3 election were flagrant violations.

“The principle here is ... [the] Constitution is very clear that it is the prerogative of state legislatures to determine what these rules and laws are,” Starr told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Dec. 16. “And that was, I must say, flagrantly violated in Pennsylvania, and perhaps elsewhere as well.”
