On Friday, 76 of 141 Republican representatives in Pennsylvania sent a letter asking Congress asking them to reject the state’s 20 electors, appointed by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, who would be voting for Joe Biden. The representatives also asked for an independent prosecutor and a review of the agency that oversees elections.
The letter pointed to the fact that Governor Wolf has repeatedly undermined election protections in the state.
“For these reasons,” they wrote to the state’s Congressional delegation. “We the undersigned members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly urge you to object … to the Electoral College votes received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”
The letter came after a memo was signed by members of the GOP establishment saying that “that state legislators had no authority to ignore certified election results and appoint Pennsylvania’s delegates to the Electoral College themselves.”

Way too few. Should be all of them.
Only half?? WTF?
WTH are the rest of them???
Can’t Hurt! Might Help! :)
So these are the rank and file, back bench representatives, expressing their displeasure with their leadership who blocked this, I assume?
Where's Barr?
Pennsylvania Ping!

Doing absolutely nothing, and he will continue to do so.
THAT'LL stop The Coup by the Democrats, every time.
Bootin’ it upstairs
A letter? Meaningless.
Too few but probably the rest will sign on soon. I’m not sure if this might just be Buck- passing? The commonwealth’s legislature could name the electors directly now — which would be better)
So far.
Boy, aren’t YOU just the little ray of sunshine?!?
Some real fighters weighing in with Steve Bannon’s War Room say this is for show, this way they get the monkey off their backs and put it on Congress.
They have the power to reject these Electors on their own.
They’re cowards.
Makes sense. Only half or less of the GOP are actually Republicans.
Regarding the letters, the following members made statements:
Pennsylvania Speaker of the House Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster):
“The unconstitutional actions of an activist court created confusion and delays for every voter in Pennsylvania. These letters are a continuation of actions the Legislature has taken for months to restore our election law, and the public’s trust in our election process.”
Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff (R-Centre/Mifflin):
“I am alarmed and incredibly concerned about the numerous process failures, mistakes and reports of misdeeds in the 2020 election. Regardless of their political affiliation, we want people to feel confident in the election process. While we constitutionally cannot act as a Legislature to fix these problems at this time, there is action that can be taken to ensure the integrity of our election is upheld and the voice of Pennsylvanians is heard. I hope that the law enforcement entities and our members of Congress take these letters with the seriousness and concern they deserve to ensure the rule of law is followed and the people of Pennsylvania truly have access to free, fair and secure elections.”
State Rep. Seth Grove (R-York):
“As the General Assembly is constitutionally barred from interfering with election results, we are developing every possible option and tool at our disposal to bring transparency and accountability to the 2020 General Election.”
