HARRISBURG (KDKA) -- A top Senate Republican says an audit of Pennsylvania's 2020 election is a "very real possibility."

The Senate State Government Committee Chairman told The Capital-Star that he's considering issuing subpoenas for ballot information, and he will likely make a decision "in a week or two."

Republican lawmakers met yesterday with activists who have been pushing for an election review.

The Pennsylvania Department of State's own audit of the 2020 election found "strong evidence" that the votes had been counted accurately.

But right-wing activists have been pushing for reviews in several states following baseless fraud claims by Former President Donald Trump.
