President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani alleges improprieties with Pa.'s election
A band of 26 Pa. House lawmakers are circulating a memo seeking support of a proposed resolution declaring the state's certification of presidential electors and other statewide election results to be in dispute. This comes two days after President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani testified before a panel of Pennsylvania House and Senate Republican lawmakers about his allegations of voter fraud and election rigging, which the courts for the most part found baseless.

Declaring the results of statewide electoral contests in the 2020 general election to be in dispute, a group of House Republican lawmakers have announced their intention to introduce a resolution calling for Gov. Tom Wolf and Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar to withdraw their certification of the Nov. 3 election results in the presidential and other statewide contests.
Citing what they described as election law compromises, irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing, the 26 lawmakers stated in a news release issued late Friday afternoon the issues raised about the election has undermined our elector process and as a result we can not accept certification of the results in statewide races.
The proposed resolution, if it gets introduced, has only a short life since the legislative session ends on Monday, Nov. 30. All pending bills and resolutions will die at its conclusion.

(504 posts)I can see how something like this would be attractive to the "poorly educated." Especially with them thinking the world would be much simpler if they had a "Dear Leader" telling them what to do and how to think.

I blame the Koch-fueled lunatic fringe teabagger movement for managing to primary "normal" (annoying) Republicans and replace them with the most freakish brainless clowns they could find.
