A day after the General Election, PA House leaders, Speaker Sam Smith and Majority Leader Mike Turzai visited the Capitol newsroom.

The conversation took a turn to voter fraud when Speaker Smith asserted that 90% of the precincts in Philadelphia reported 90% voter turnout and declared it "questionable." When asked what evidence there is for his proclamation, the Speaker of the House replied, "Maybe a good investigative reporter could track some of that down."

Smith went on to say that State and Federal prosecutors never what to investigate voter fraud because "it's too political. They're gun shy on dealing with voter fraud."
