The audit comes one year after Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration began automatic voter registration at driver’s licensing centers.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Republicans are stepping up scrutiny of Pennsylvania’s system for registering people to vote through its driver’s licensing centers, six weeks before what is expected to be a close presidential contest in the battleground state.
Meanwhile, dozens of state Republican lawmakers are demanding the Shapiro administration do more to ensure that noncitizens are not registered to vote and curtail automatic voter registration functions strictly to transactions involving driver licensing. DeFoor’s office called it “disheartening that so many baseless assumptions” have been made about the audit.
A spokesperson for DeFoor said the audit arose because the program is a year old and has enough data to perform an audit. DeFoor’s spokesperson said audits typically take months or years to complete — not weeks — and is unlikely to be completed before the November election.
