Republicans scrutinizing automatic voter registration in Pennsylvania

Republicans are stepping up scrutiny of Pennsylvania’s system for registering people to vote through its driver’s licensing centers. The move comes six weeks before the presidential contest in the battleground state. Auditor General Tim DeFoor is launching an audit of Pennsylvania’s so-called motor voter system. The Republican official says the audit will include checking whether noncitizens are screened out from registering to vote. Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro's administration says there's no evidence that noncitizens have registered to vote in Pennsylvania. PennDOT Secretary Michael Carroll says the agency will cooperate, but he's accusing DeFoor of playing politics. DeFoor’s office says his audit isn't political.
