he Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts has advised that an election complaint is being heard in Northampton County by President Judge Craig Dally. County Republicans want a list of all judges of election as well as the majority and minority inspectors at each precinct. Interestingly, County Council member John Brown had also asked for a list of all poll workers several months ago at a council meeting. Brown is a Republican. President Judge Craig Dally entertained oral argument, but at this juncture, no Order has been entered.
It's unclear to me why Republicans would wait until election day to demand this list. It's hardly an emergency. Moreover, while the election code does identify documents and records that must be made available for public inspection, like street lists, it makes no provision that would require the county to identify its elections workers.
To be clear, the identity of poll workers, who are paid with public funds, must be provided when sought. But it's equally clear that county Republicans failed to follow the procedure outlined in Pennsylvania's Right to Know Act. Moreover, initial jurisdiction over a refusal or deemed denial of these admittedly public records would lie in the Office of Open Records, not the courts.

Apparently Luzerne County is now having issues yet again. This is not good.
It's unclear to you why they'd wait? Really?
It's obviously just nonsense to kick up dust and vaguely hint about something nefarious.
Clowns.
It never ceases to amaze me that just like clockwork, MAGA is already infecting our voting process with baseless claims of voter fraud, wasting everyone time because they can’t fathom a world where the majority of this country doesn’t want a limp-dick dictator as our president. And once again, they’ll get crushed in the courts.
Fucking weak sore losers republicans have become. Yall fucked around, now you’re about to find out…
Seriously, STFU
This COULD stem from a recent news report about the selection of poll workers in the Atlanta, GA region. There, of the more than 800 positions to be filled, less than 100 of those jobs went to white persons.
If you'd actually read the complaint, you'd know the NCRC has been trying to get the names for more than 3 weeks.
It is highly curious why the Republicans waited until ELECTION DAY to file a court action. What good will it do now? They allegedly started asking on Oct 1. As Bernie points out, this document would be subject to the RTK law - and there was plenty of time to file a RTK request. Sounds like they are just trying to create a mess - like chickens relieving themselves in the barnyard.
MAGA is panicking and I’m here for it. This is what that “Trade School” diploma got you, you’re too dumb to realize that your arrogance was your own undoing. You wanna fuck with women’s bodily autonomy? Even conservative women are voting against Trump, you dipshits.
thy have nothing better to do than create distractions. losers
Do you think that Republicans would NOT adapt the tatics that the democrats have used over the years to project and protect their power and seats?
Oh, you silly boy.........pathetic!
