What has happened
- Not started
No investigation or prosecution of the Pennsylvania Secretary of State has been announced or filed. Searched all 2,087 headquarters press releases in the window for the office by name, the CourtListener keyword Corpus and the 1.2 million-docket bulk snapshot for a case captioned against the Secretary, and the Federal Register Corpus. The department's published section 241 activity in the window concerns school officials and local prosecutors, not state election administrators.
