An Inspection of Voting Machines, in a heavily Republican County, in Pennsylvania, had been poised to go forward Friday until an 11th-hour Appeal to the State Supreme Court, by Lawyers for Gov. Tom Wolf (D) put it On-Hold.
The High Court decision came hours after a State Judge Rejected attempts by the Wolf Administration to Block the Inspection, inspired by Trump’s baseless Claims about Fraud in the 2020 Election, without certain Agreements in place.
The Justices overruled the Lower Court by Granting an Emergency Request by the Governor's Lawyers to Stop it for now.
The Machines in question were about to be wheeled in and a Special Meeting of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and Elections had just gotten underway at 1 p.m. Friday, when a Lawyer for the County, Tom Breth, announced that the Supreme Court's Filing Office had just Notified him the Stay was Granted.
The Supreme Court said that the Request was Granted on a Temporary basis until the Full Court can consider it, and that No Inspection can take place until the Justices issue an order.
Wolf's Lawyers, representing Pennsylvania's Acting Secretary of State, want Fulton County Officials to Agree to a set of Demands on Protocol, including Sharing the Identity of Who will Inspect the Voting Machines, and allowing a State-designated Voting Machine Expert to Observe and Record it.
On Dec. 10, State Sen. Cris Dush (R-25th District, Jefferson), sent a letter requesting the “digital data” from the Election Computers and Hardware used in the 2020 Election by Fulton County. Dush is leading a State Senate Review and Fulton County is Cooperating.
A Lawyer for Fulton County said Dush wants the Senate Republicans’ Contractor to determine whether the Equipment used there was the same Equipment Certified by Pennsylvania for use in 2020's Election.
Dush this year visited the Republicans' Partisan and widely Criticized Election Review in Arizona, and said he wanted to bring that Model to Pennsylvania. The group that performed that audit, is now out of business and owes millions in debt.
A Republican-controlled Senate Committee also has sent a Subpoena to State Election Officials for a Wide Range of Election-related Records.
