One day after members of Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council called the 2020 election 'the most secure in American history,' the PA Secretary of State said she does not expect a recount in Pennsylvania and Democratic Attorneys General are calling President Trump's efforts nothing but a 'disinformation campaign.'

"Based on the unofficial returns submitted by all the counties to the Department of State, Secretary Boockvar has determined that she will not be ordering a recount and recanvass as no statewide candidate was defeated by one-half of one percent or less of the votes cast. This includes the following races: President of the United States, Attorney General, Auditor General, and State Treasurer," the PA Department of State said in a statement.
One-half of one percent or less is the standard to trigger an automatic recount in Pennsylvania.
Meantime Friday, the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA) called its own briefing to combat the 'disinformation' campaign that they said President Trump has launched to help what they called his 'bruised ego.' They said Democratic AG's are battling 'frivolous' legal actions and 'PR stunts' by the Trump campaign, adding that so far not a single claim brought forth by the Trump campaign has indicated widespread fraud or abuse.
"There have been more than a dozen lawsuits, an enormous amount of noise, and the outcome remains and it will remain the same: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won," said Democratic Attorneys General Association Co-Chair, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey.
The briefing came one day after members of the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) Executive Committee called the Nov. 3 election "the most secure in American history," adding that "there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
It said in a statement: “While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.”
Republican Attorneys General held their own briefing on November 9. GOP AG's from 10 states joined together to file an amicus curiae brief in support of two lawsuits asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review Pennsylvania’s three-day extension to receive mail-in ballots. The brief was filed Nov. 9 in support of Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Boockvar and Scarnati v. Boockvar by the Attorney General of Missouri and joined by the Attorneys General of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota and Texas.
A Pennsylvania judge has sided with President Donald Trump’s campaign and ordered counties not to count a small number of mail-in or absentee ballots for which the voter didn’t submit valid identification within six days after the Nov. 3 election.
That ruling is not expected to change the outcome of the election.
