HARRISBURG, Pa.

The request made in recent days by Secretary of State Al Schmidt that Fulton County and its officials pay the state more than $700,000 comes in a three-year battle over allowing outsiders to examine voting machines to help former President Donald Trump’s claims of election fraud. The reimbursement request was made based on a decision against the county issued by the state Supreme Court in April.
