A Butler County lawmaker still has questions following the abrupt resignation of the state’s top election official.
Pennsylvania Secretary of State Pedro Cortes resigned on Wednesday, three weeks after his agency came under criticism for a glitch that may have allowed thousands of ineligible immigrants to vote.
The resignation came a week after State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, who is the chairman of the House’s State Government Committee, and 15 of his colleagues sent Cortes a letter expressing concerns that legal non-citizens in Pennsylvania had been offered the chance to register to vote. The “glitch” appears to be tied to driver’s license renewals at PennDOT service centers.
