A group of Republican lawmakers in the state legislature analyzed data from the election in November and found several discrepancies in the number of votes versus the number of voters.

The legislators said in a statement that the data was concerning. 

“We were already concerned with the actions of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the Executive branch, and election officials in certain counties contravening and undermining the Pennsylvania Election Code by eliminating signature verification, postmarks, and due dates while allowing the proliferation of drop boxes with questionable security measures and the unauthorized curing of ballots, as well as the questionable treatment of poll watchers, all of which created wholesale opportunities for irregularities in the 2020 presidential election,” the state lawmakers said in the statement.

The state lawmakers said they’re seeing discrepancies that are troubling.

“These findings call into question the accuracy of the SURE system, consistency in the application of the Pennsylvania Election Code from county to county, and the competency of those charged with oversight of elections in our Commonwealth,” the lawmakers said.

They said the numbers don’t add up.

“These numbers just don’t add up, and the alleged certification on Pennsylvania’s presidential election results was absolutely premature, unconfirmed and in error,” the lawmakers said in the statement.

When analyzing the data, the lawmakers found that there were a total of 6,962,607 ballots cast, according to county data, but SURE data found only 6,760,230 total ballots cast, meaning a difference of 202,377 more votes cast than voters who voted.

The total votes counted in the presidential race were 6,931,060 in county data and 6,760,230 from SURE data, meaning a difference of 170,830 more ballots cast than voters who voted.

The SURE System total of voters who voted was 6,760,230, according to the data.

The state lawmakers have questioned why and how the results were certified by Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar and Gov. Tom Wolf. They noted in the news release that these issues were on top of previous concerns that have been raised regarding the alleged election irregularities.
