An appeals court in Pennsylvania says it won’t compel the state’s Department of State to release personal voter information to state Senate Republicans for their ongoing investigation into the 2020 election, although the court left the door open for the probe to continue by saying that the lawmakers have the power to enforce a subpoena.
In its long-running probe into the 2020 election, the GOP-led Pennsylvania Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee issued a subpoena in September 2021 (pdf) requesting that the Department of State release guidelines, communications, and a variety of voter information.
