Pennsylvania’s top election official, Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt, is asking a federal judge to dismiss a US Justice Department lawsuit that seeks access to highly sensitive voter data from the state’s voter registration database, including names, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers and Social Security numbers. Schmidt argues the DOJ’s demand is unauthorized and an overreach that violates state and federal privacy protections and that Pennsylvania doesn’t need to turn over the information to demonstrate compliance with election laws. The DOJ, part of the Trump administration, says it needs the full data to ensure “clean” voter rolls, part of a broader push that has led to similar suits against several other states.

The Heinz History Center announced Tuesday that it would be renaming the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum as the Franco Harris Sports Museum in 2026. Before his death in December 2022, Harris played an integral part in developing the museum. His family remains in leadership roles at the History Center. The Sports Museum, which opened in 2004, has become synonymous with Harris and his Immaculate Reception scoring play during the Dec. 23, 1972 playoff game against the Oakland Raiders.

Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele is investigating after a man was hit by a car and killed Monday night along Route 40 in Brownsville. 30-year-old Mark Smith was known to walk that stretch of Route 40 to and from work at McDonald’s. Aubele said the driver who hit Smith initially kept driving, allegedly unsure of what she had hit. When she made it to a gas station a short distance away, she called her family. The damage to her front passenger side was significant. Aubele said the driver’s family returned to where the accident happened to search the area. That’s when Smith was found around 30 minutes to an hour later. No charges are being filed at this point, but the investigation is ongoing. Aubele said the driver is cooperating, and her phone and car have been seized as part of the investigation.
