An inspection of voting machines in a heavily Republican county in Pennsylvania as part of a GOP “investigation” into the 2020 presidential election was moments away from starting Friday until the state Supreme Court put it on hold. The high court decision came hours after a state judge rejected attempts by Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration to block the inspection — inspired by former President Donald Trump’s claims about fraud in the 2020 election he lost — without an agreement over procedure in place. The justices overruled the lower court by granting an emergency request by the governor’s lawyers to stop it for now.
