The Honorable Josh Shapiro Attorney General of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Strawberry Square Harrisburg, PA 17120 via email to Mike Vereb, Director of Gov. Affairs Re: 2020 Election Review Dear Attorney General Shapiro: In 2019 the Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted comprehensive changes to our Commonwealth’s Election Code. These changes expanded voting access by permitting no-excuse mail-in ballots while also implementing reasonable safeguards to ensure that this new system would be secure, transparent to ensure that all Americans could have confidence in Pennsylvania’s election results. These changes received bipartisan support, including the signature of Governor Tom Wolf. Unfortunately, further changes were implemented to our elections and new guidance was issued just prior to the General Election day. This resulted in confusion, irregularities, and a lack of statewide continuity concerning how our elections were conducted. For these reasons, we the undersigned members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly urge you to appoint an independent prosecutor to review these election irregularities, to ensure the statutes governing our elections were not violated, and to make recommendations to the General Assembly concerning further internal control policies to prevent even the appearance of election manipulation in the Commonwealth. An independent prosecutor would ensure that there is no conflict of interest in order to objectively review the 2020 Election. Sincerely, Seth Grove Kristin Phillips-Hill Representative, 196th District Senator, 28th District
