A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Cameron County Election Department in Pennsylvania on October 30, 2024. The request, made by Keystone Today, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought detailed information about pre-election voting machine test reports.
The specific records requested under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law include the date of testing, machine manufacturer details, machine model numbers, and the status of each machine - whether it passed or failed the pre-election test. The requested information is intended to be provided in a PDF format.
As a media organization committed to transparency and public accountability, we at Keystone Today believe that access to such public records is crucial for our journalistic responsibilities. These include not only reporting news but also ensuring that public institutions are held accountable.
We have requested a fee waiver for this information as part of our role as media professionals involved in gathering and disseminating news to the public. We await a response from the Cameron County Election Department regarding this important matter.
