We've written several reports about the apparently biased attorney general of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro. The AG tweeted about a Joe Biden victory in the state before any votes had even been counted. He is a candidate himself this year, and Republican candidate for Pennsylvania Attorney General Heather Heidelbaugh urged him to step aside from overseeing the vote count, arguing that he can't be both a political candidate and a neutral arbiter.
Rep. Fred Keller (R-PA) agrees. In a letter written by him and a handful of other Pennsylvania Republicans, he noted that he is "deeply concerned with how the Commonwealth has handled the general election."
"Statements made by Pennsylvania’s Attorney General, including social media posts calling the outcome of the election, prior to the tabulation of a single vote, are troubling and highlight the Attorney General’s inability to maintain impartiality and to separate his sworn duties from his political desires," they write. "We believe that due to this conflict, the Attorney General must recuse himself from all future election proceedings and appoint an impartial designee moving forward."
They shared much more than just their concern about Shapiro's "vested personal interest" in the election.
Today I joined my colleagues in the PA Republican Congressional delegation in calling on state officials to restore trust in PA's electoral system.
Pennsylvanians deserve a free and fair election.
Read our letter to Governor Wolf, AG Shapiro, and Secretary Boockvar?? pic.twitter.com/WmTvbcU3YU— Congressman Fred Keller (@RepFredKeller) November 7, 2020
"From last minute guidance provided to the counties on the eve of the election, to the Attorney General playing dual roles as a political candidate and legal arbiter with a vested personal interest, to volunteer legal observers being prevented from having access to vote counting locations, we believe these conflicts and irregularities have greatly eroded public trust in the Commonwealth’s electoral system," the Republican lawmakers continued. "The citizens of the Commonwealth do not just expect free and fair elections, they deserve free and fair elections."
Adding their signatures to the letter were Glenn “GT” Thompson (PA-15), Mike Kelly (PA-16), John Joyce (PA-13), Scott Perry (PA-10), Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14), Dan Meuser (PA-09), Lloyd Smucker (PA-11), and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01).
“The citizens of the United States, not media outlets, determine the outcome of elections," Rep. Keller said in a statement on Saturday. "With recounts and legal challenges expected, we must let the process play out. Count every legal vote.”
In case you weren't concerned enough about AG Shapiro's role in the election, consider the PA Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, who once tweeted that Donald Trump didn't even deserve to be called "president."
“Conflict and Irregularities?” Try Voter Fraud.
Trump needs to get back on the Rally trail, stir the people up to demand State Legislatures step in to allocate Electors ... Just sayin ...
Yes, using mail-in ballots as a vehicle for ballot harvesting and fraud nationwide.
Tend to agree. You might try the court route but I don’t trust the courts. This as every bit about public relations and perception
If voting made a difference they wouldn’t allow us to do it—Mark Twain.
PA may make a difference but as in MI the PA, WI and GA Dems won’t hear of an honest outcome. Never.
Thats fine but if they feel that way then they should demand that election to be done over right. You can’t say it was done wrong and then just accept the wrong outcome it’s ridiculous.
I am livid.
Oh boy another letter!! WOW that should make them shake in their boots!!!
I am so angry right now!! I don’t know how to start a new thread so will just say it here.
WHERE are THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS? CONGRESSMEN?
Why are they not on the steps of CONGRESS FIGHTING for our PRESIDENT??
COWARDS THEY ARE... all of them. I tried calling and leaving messages yesterday. Most boxes were full. I hope FULL of people giving them hell for what they need to be doing!!
GOD HELP US...
People have long laughed at “Flori-duh” for being inept. But Pennsylvania, specifically Philadelphia, has overtaken Florida with their tradition of big city corruption.
Pennsylvania Ping!

You are spot on.
Legislature wring laws for State executive branches to enforce and courts to adjudicate offenders is a venture for future elections. In the case of THiS election, the State Legislature is named by the Constitution as the executor to name the slate PROPERLY representing the true votes of that state. They must quickly find the facts and send a proper slate forward.
