Has PA completed their Nov 5 audit?

Harrisburg, PA – The Department of State began Pennsylvania's statewide risk-limiting audit (RLA), this one for the Nov. 5, 2024, presidential election.

"Risk-limiting audits are the highest standard of comprehensive election audits, not just here in Pennsylvania, but across the country," Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said. "The RLA process provides a statistically sound, scientific method for confirming that the reported outcome of the election is accurate."

Ten Department employees took turns rolling 10-sided dice this morning to generate a 20-digit "seed number," which is used to randomly determine which batches of ballots counties will audit over the next several days.

I was thinking that they had to be done before December for some reason. I guess to allow for recounts

one of my county commissioners last night, he told me that our county would be submitting vote data today (11/20/24) or Thursday. I assume that other counties have done so already or will do so soon.
