Former Clinton-era investigator Ken Starr testified in front of a Senate panel that Pennsylvania’s last-minute changes to election laws before the Nov. 3 election were violations.

“The principle here is … [the] Constitution is very clear that it is the prerogative of state legislatures to determine what these rules and laws are,” Starr told the Senate Homeland Security Panel. “And that was, I must say, flagrantly violated in Pennsylvania, and perhaps elsewhere as well.”

Starr was answering a question from Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) about whether courts in the future will rule that it was “wrong” for secretaries of state in Pennsylvania and other states to “change laws” about voting without the approval of legislatures.

“I think there is a possibility,” Starr said, describing the 2020 election as one with “an unprecedented use of mail-in ballots.” He added: “This issue may recur again.”

Starr, a former prosecutor who led an impeachment investigation into former President Bill Clinton’s affairs, cited the Supreme Court’s ruling on Bush v. Gore in 2000. Starr previously served as a circuit judge, a solicitor general, and was part of President Donald Trump’s legal counsel during the Senate impeachment trial.
