Trump Team: Pennsylvania Senate Shouldn’t Certify ‘Compromised’ Election

That’s an interesting theory. Can you point me to one example in the last hundred years of a legislature certifying an election? I’ve never heard of it in my life.

[Armscor38]

The PA state Senate won’t certify the election as they have no role in doing so.

[Boise3981]

There is no official certification for Biden in PA; just because officials that claim they can certify the election but cannot claim to have done so does not make certification happen. Don’t know where you’re getting your “news” from.

Not only has the official certification been done, it's already been transmitted to the Archives. You can see it here: https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/2020

Invalid because it was done unconstitutionally.

Art. II, Sec. 1, §2 of the Constitution: “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct” the electors to vote for president. This state legislative power was exercised a number of times without noted controversy in the early years of our republic. In the McPherson v Blacker case (1892, regarding the Michigan legislature’s role in allocating electors) the court ruled that : “The legislature possesses plenary authority to direct the manner of appointment, and might itself exercise the appointing power by joint ballot or concurrence of the two houses, or according to such mode as it designated.” In Bush v. Gore (which is in our lifetimes) the Supreme court reiterated that any state legislature “may, if it so chooses, select the electors itself.”

My patience is short with these mealy-mouthed RINOs. Consider this: They are working on the budget instead of working on the election because they did not pass a full budget this fiscal year. If the state legislature does anything related to legislation they should rewrite the election code - as in zero mail-in ballots, zero machines, only paper ballots, super detailed and bullet proof procedures for counting ballots. If Wolf doesn't sign the bill, then no budget. Shut down the Commonwealth. Government shuts down businesses and infringes on our rights, then we can demand that the government is shut down - no pay, and never any back pay for these slugs. State employees are a bunch of lazy asses anyway. They are takers. They take our money. They take our rights.

The process of passing new election code and holding back on the budget will force the issue of election fraud to be discussed and should make the news. Most people in PA do not think there is fraud. They think it is debunked, baseless, without evidence and so on. Use the leverage that the Republicans have with the budget and make the fraud known. There are about two weeks until electors have to be seated. On the eve of that dead line the state legislature can appointed the electors. We get fraud free (needs to be seen) elections going forward and Trump gets his 20 electoral votes. I am pretty sure this legislative session is coming to an end very soon (days). That needs to be fixed. Either swear in the new Republican legislature or extend this session.

[Boise3981]

The allegation is that it was done unconstitutionally according to the STATE constitution, not the federal constitution. And the authority on state laws and state constitutions are the supreme court of that state.

There's no role for the federal courts here at all.

[Olog-hai]

Utterly false. Re-read Article 2.

And no “supreme court” at any level is the ultimate authority; PA is not a kritarchy and neither is the USA at large.
