Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced Thursday that his office is suing members of the state Senate over efforts to subpoena personal information belonging to 9 million voters.
The suit in Commonwealth Court was filed on behalf of the Department of State and Acting Secretary Veronica Degraffenreid against Senators Chris Dush and Jake Corman as well as the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee.
Shapiro argues that the subpoenas do not provide reasonable justification for needing the information and concerns about the integrity of recent elections are based on narratives proven to be false.
The suit also maintains that the Committee has not put the necessary security protocols in place to ensure that the personal information will not be misused by a third party company.
