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.”
This is their CYA.
