Pennsylvania Republicans Reject Certification Of Electors
Pennsylvania Republicans Reject Certification Of Electors — Eight of Pennsylvania’s nine Republican members of the House of Representatives have released a joint statement saying they won’t certify the electors for Joe Biden.
Not joining them is Bryan Fitzpatrick of the 1st District.
Pennsylvania’s 18 congress members are divided equally between the parties.
Here is the statement.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today (Dec. 31), Pennsylvania members of the U.S. House of Representatives including Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-9), Congressman Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson (PA-15), Congressman Mike Kelly (PA-16), Congressman Scott Perry (PA-10), Congressman Lloyd Smucker (PA-11), Congressman Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14), Congressman John Joyce (PA-13), and Congressman Fred Keller (PA-12) released the following joint statement:
“The United States Constitution is unambiguous in declaring that state legislatures are the entity with authority to set election procedure –
“Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof…
“Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2: Each state shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors…
“Unfortunately, the many unlawful actions undertaken by the Pennsylvania Governor’s office, the Secretary of State, and what has been described as a rogue Pennsylvania Supreme Court exceeded and circumvented the state legislature’s clear constitutional authority.
“The unlawful actions include, but are not limited to:
Accepting ballots past 8:00 pm on Election Day
Not properly requiring signatures to match those on mail-in ballots or requiring dates
Meanwhile, the matching of signatures was required at a polling site
Authorizing the curing of mail-in ballots with less than a 24-hour’s notice
Only some counties were informed and adhered to this order leaving voters treated unequally from county to county
Authorizing the use of unsecure drop boxes, which is not permitted in statute
Prohibiting certified poll watchers overseeing the canvassing of ballots in Philadelphia
“These unlawful actions were taken without the authority or consent of the Pennsylvania state legislature. These are facts, and they are indisputable.
“Additionally, the Pennsylvania Attorney General did nothing with regard to these unlawful activities. Not one inquiry, no questioning, and certainly no investigations. Not to mention that hundreds, if not thousands, of affidavits outlining election complaints and potential fraud were documented, submitted, and ignored. The Pennsylvania election could be summed up as a free-for-all with no oversight and different standards applied throughout the Commonwealth. It is also very apparent that the unlawful actions described were concentrated in heavily populated, Democrat-led counties.
“By definition, such unlawful, unregulated, and inconsistent activities resulted in a highly questionable and inaccurate vote total. The scope of these inaccuracies cannot be known until the legal ballots are identified and counted, and the illegal ballots are disqualified. This has not been done.
“Therefore, the state’s official certification of electors was based upon a flawed system and an inaccurate vote count. Thus, very possibly resulting in an erroneous certification.
“Until these unlawful practices are acknowledged and corrected, we cannot agree to support electors chosen based upon an inaccurate total vote count. The voters of Pennsylvania deserve integrity in the election process and equal protection under the law.
“This very unfortunate, volatile, and distressing situation is due to the lack of respect and regard for the law and the U.S. Constitution as well as the Pennsylvania State Constitution. Additionally, the failure of Pennsylvania’s justice system to seek the truth, rather than stay silent, allowed these irregular, unlawful actions to create a high level of mistrust in the process as well as a potentially flawed outcome.
“If there is an American ideal that all citizens, regardless of party affiliation, can agree upon is that we must have election integrity. Election integrity is the only way to ensure trust in our elections and it is accomplished by adhering to our Constitution and the law.”

If they weren’t cruel to animals I wouldn’t care how low their IQ was. But really it is impossible to hold a conversation about anything other than the weather.
I believe that their cruelty is related to a low IQ, being unable to comprehend other ways to treat animals. And making a big deal about Heritage, And doing things the way their great grandparents did them. In spite of there being many medical veterinary advances in the last 100 years.
And I’ve seen it too many times for it not to be related to something local. Some common denominator. It’s all over these hollers.
But actually I figured it out unrelated to the animal cruelty. I was trying to figure out why everyone is so darn goofy! At least everyone that was from here. But I’ll go ahead and judge people on the way they treat animals, I’m not going to give that a pass. Animals are just defenseless little angels.
How does this keep happening? The evidence is never preserved. No one ever goes to jail.
Thanks for the augmentation.
In the past 24 hours there’s been progress in GA, A , and PA. Still have a week to go.
Good news!
Yeah I decided you’re right, I’ll just keep it to myself. It’s not like I go around here telling people. I thought on an anonymous forum I could vent. But I’m probably overdoing it.
What I have decided I could do is volunteer with this local animal rescue group. A friend of mine in Arkansas does this, their rescue group takes all of their animals and finds homes for them in the NE. I asked my friend why there and she said because the animals are treated much better up there. I kind of hate sending animals into liberal land, but if they get good forever homes, that’s more important. So if I could set something like that up I’ll feel a lot less .... I don’t know the word...impotent?
I thought on an anonymous forum I could vent.
And, on this thread, among FRiends, you can, CB.
Amen.

Not 100% on this; but I think Durham just landed
the same time as AF1 in DC...
One thing I learned being a moderator of a forum (NOT this one) is that even though we’re anonymous unless we choose to make a closer connection, there’s real people on the other side of the screen. And not just the people that we’re addressing on the forum, but both members and non-members who read what we say that we never know about. I’ve had members who have never posted on this thread send me private messages about things I’ve said on this thread. And other threads as well.
I know I’ve been guilty of making offhand comments that could hurt people, and I *really* ought to know better. A good reminder for me.
I think finding a positive outlet for your...hmmm, maybe frustration?.... is a good consequence of a negative situation.
WILL Double that AMEN

I understand how you feel. I hate when news stories about animal cruelty or ads from ASPCA come on. I know they have to be shown but still.... I have to turn the channel or if I can’t get to it in time, I have to do the ‘shut my eyes tight and stick my fingers in my ears and say la-la-la’ trick until it’s over. Otherwise I would be upset the rest of the day.
Also why I haven’t adopted a cat since losing my last one in 2016; if I go to a shelter to get one, I’d come back with all of them, and 3 dogs for good measure.
CB....your postings are, and always have been....just fine!
Don’t change a darn thing!
Happy New Year dear FRiend. You are the sparkle on this Trump FAMILY train!
