WASHINGTON Pennsylvanias chief elections administrator says the states elections have never been more safe and secure, even as voting procedures increasingly are questioned, prominent Republicans refuse to say theyll accept the results, and 4 in 10 Pennsylvanians doubt that the 2020 presidential election was conducted fairly.
Secretary of State Al Schmidt said on NBCs Meet the Press Sunday that the state now uses a paper trail and two audits to guarantee the outcome is correct.
Elections have changed a lot in Pennsylvania in the last several years, but they've changed for the better, he said. Elections have never been more safe and secure with a voter-verifiable paper-ballot record of every vote that's cast that is used in not one but two audits after every election to ensure the tabulated results are accurate. So, they've changed a lot.
Mr. Schmidt joined secretaries of states from three other battlegrounds Arizona, Georgia and Michigan to discuss the 2024 elections at a time when former President Donald Trump and his allies still insist against all evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.
