On the heels of Gov. Tom Wolf unilaterally decertifying every voting machine in the Commonwealth, we need to know whether these new machines met expectations, whether they are reliable and whether they are not subject to interference,\u201d said Rep.

If they have nothing to hide, why are they hiding from us?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday I am saddened to report to the taxpayers of Pennsylvania and the 1.3 million voters who trusted Dominion Voting Systems with their ballots, that Dominion Voting Systems has hung you out to dry and slapped you in your faces.\u201d the committee chair declared.<\/p>\n<p>Grove stated that Dominion\u2019s behavior lent credibility to their accusers\u2019 accusations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"pa-container-3\" class=\"pa-global-class pa-pl-7758 pa-pl-multiInsert\">\n<div id=\"pa-unit-3\" class=\"pa-unit-global pa-pl-7758\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/index.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1329816292141002754&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Famgreatness.com%2F2020%2F11%2F20%2Fdominion-voting-systems-lawyers-up-abruptly-backs-out-of-pa-state-house-fact-finding-hearing%2F&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&amp;width=500px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1329816292141002754\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Rep.
