Access to Lycoming County's 2020 election data still unresolved after new court order
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court revived a dispute over access to Lycoming County's 2020 election ballot records by ordering a lower court to reconsider a case brought by Jeff Stroehmann, a Woodward Township Supervisor.
On July 27, the Supreme Court vacated a previous ruling favoring Lycoming County Voter Services and sent the case back to Commonwealth Court for reconsideration based on the court's April 28 decision in Honey v. Lycoming County Officers of Voter Services.
In the Honey case, which involved Stroehmann, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Cast Vote Records are not exempt from public disclosure and are considered disclosable documents.
Stroehmann began seeking access to the 2020 ballot data after his Right-to-Know Law request to Voter Services was denied shortly after the election.
