One of Pennsylvania’s top officials on Thursday defended anti-President Donald Trump social media posts she issued, as well as the state’s ballot-counting process.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat, made the statements during a press conference that took place as the crucial battleground state continues counting ballots despite the election taking place days ago.
