One interesting thing I hadn’t heard -‘according to the state they received requests for, and mailed out, 1.8 million absentee ballots. However, there were over 2.5 million absentee ballots counted in the state. No one has been able to explain that 700,000 vote difference.
This is another error on the trump legal teams part that is just as bad as the Michigan vs. Minnesota one.
Rudy said : "In the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 1,823,148 mail-in ballots were sent out. You received back approximately 1.4 million. But in the count for President, you counted 2.5 million."
That's a very specific number. It also happens to be the number of mail in ballots requested for the PRIMARY election. You can see that at the link below, the data set was updated in Sept. and the total requested ballots is 1,823,148. You can see the total at the bottom of the table preview area.

Rudy is comparing the number of ballots requested from the primary, with the 2.5M counted in the general election.
The PA SoS reported to the AP that 3M mail in ballots had been requested at the end of October.

Wrong.
Below is from Mastriano. Those numbers came straight from the PA dashboard. (PA has since removed this data from their dashboard.) Maybe if twitter hadnt suspended Mastriano, you could have saved yourself form the embarrassment of posting your conjecture versus the actual data.
Also, noone from the state denied in the hearing that the numbers that Rudy was referencing was wrong. And they still havent. You would think the SOS would wantt to get out in front of that considering the data came from their own dashboard.
Do you think the screenshot with the number of ballots cast was posted on the PA SOS site, or the text typed below? Without the added text that screenshot tells us nothing about how many ballots PA SOS mailed.
As to why officials from the PA SOS didn’t answer in the room, they weren’t there. That “hearing” wasn’t a hearing in front of the PA senate.
It was an event organized by the GOP at a hotel. It had as much official standing as one of Rudy’s press conferences or a Rotary club meeting.
So your stance here is that the state sent out the exact same very specific number of ballots in both the primary and the general election?
And before the election, and before the supposed algorithm know how many votes to add, they reported over three million ballots to the AP just in case.
What’s more likely, Rudy reading the exact number of ballots from the wrong data set or all of that?
I’m comfortably not embarrassed. You want to try again?
1. It was a legislative hearing held at the senate. You can scream all you want to, but it was a hearing.
2. Point to any official from PA who has denied those numbers.
3. You should be embarrassed. I cant tell if your face is red or not because its up Toms ass.
Aww, thats cute. You must be their target audience because you fell for the "legislative hearing" hook line and sinker.
Let's look at facts surrounding the hearing.
Who organized it - The press release is linked below, it was organized by the Senate Majority Policy Committee

Where was it held - You think it was held "at the senate". Where was it actually held? At the Wyndham Gettysburg Hotel. Says so right there in the press release.
Who's on this committee - Let's look.

Oh my god they are all republicans. Does PA even have democrats in the state senate. Yes, yes they do.
Is this even an official committee of the PA State Senate - here is a list of their committees. Spoiler alert, this one ain't there.

What is a policy committee -
According to the US House -
Each party policy committee provides research and other services to senators and also serves as a forum for discussion of party legislative strategy.
So a bunch of republicans met at a hotel, at an event sponsored by the Republican Party, and gave Rudy an open mic. Just like one of his press conferences.
In case you were wondering what a real legislative hearing would look like there would be people from both parties on the panel, and the other side would get to present their case. It also wouldn't be at a mid tier business hotel, it would be in the state capitol.
