Nearly four years ago, Al Schmidt found himself in the crossfire of a tenuous moment for American democracy. With former President Donald Trump casting doubt over the validity of the 2020 presidential election results, Schmidt, then City Commissioner of Philadelphia and, like Trump, a member of the Republican Party, was responsible for upholding the integrity of the city’s votes, which helped tip Pennsylvania in Joe Biden’s favor. Now, serving as Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Schmidt is once again focused on running a smooth election, albeit on a much larger scale. He tells KYW Newsradio’s Matt Leon why Pennsylvanians should rest assured their votes will count and be counted accurately, regardless of party affiliation or political forces.
