Sen. Doug Mastriano is pushing forward to ensure Pennsylvania does not send fraudulent results to the Electoral College
Less than a week after the bombshell Gettysburg, Pennsylvania hearing into election integrity, Republican legislators in Pennsylvania have introduced a joint resolution that declares the election’s results in dispute, and demands that Congress only accepts Electoral College votes from Pennsylvania after they have been approved by the legislature.
After Trump senior legal advisor Jenna Ellis and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani outlined how the Pennsylvania state legislature can reclaim their ability to assign Electoral College votes from the Secretary of State, Pennsylvania Sen. Doug Mastriano quickly formed a Republican coalition and introduced a resolution to this effect. The resolution was introduced on November 30.
The resolution identifies a series of critical issues with the 2020 election, including unequal protection under the law, as some large Democratic counties allowed voters to “cure” or fix their ballots, while smaller Republican counties did not, “improprieties associated with mail-in balloting” that still have not been answered, and the “partisan majority” of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court allowing votes to be received past 8 p.m. on November 3.
In a statement provided to The Epoch Times, the Pennsylvania General Assembly said that “A number of compromises of Pennsylvania’s election laws took place during the 2020 General Election,” and that “The documented irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing have undermined our elector process and, as a result, we cannot accept certification of the results in statewide races.”
As Ellis suggested, the resolution quotes Article 1, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, which states: ”Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.”
Accordingly, the resolution obliges Congress not to accept the results certified by the Secretary of State and passed on to the Pennsylvania governor, and instead only accept the state’s results if they are certified by the Pennsylvania legislature.
Mastriano first hinted at this resolution on November 27, after meeting with Giuliani and Ellis in the special hearing, and suggested that the full-time Pennsylvania state legislature, would have to work longer than it would typically to ensure millions of Pennsylvanians, and Americans, are not disenfranchised by widespread voter fraud.
In Pennsylvania, State Representatives earn $87,180 per year for their full-time job, while State Senators earn $88,610 per year.
Republicans have an overwhelming majority in the state, as Newsmax reported, “GOP members outnumber Democrats in the Pennsylvania House 113-90 and 28-21 in the Senate, with one independent who caucuses with the Republicans.”
Interesting...

If State Legislators permit the fraud to go forward, they are guilty. Someone needs to do the right thing. They all get paid to give everyone a lot of B.S. Why not do the right thing?
Isn’t the legislature in recess until next year?
I don’t know. I’m in Florida.................
The story keeps changing
Last I heard, their legislative session ended Monday night, Nov. 30 at 5 & they were desperately trying to find a way to extend it ... legislature wouldn’t be back for a month, well past Dec. 14. I don’t think the Republican leadership was cooperating. The resolution was filed Nov. 30. Do you know if they found a way to extend the session so they can actually vote on the resolution & select electors?
Plenty of posts today have indicated that the PA legislature is done until January. They can come back into session if the governor (a Dem) wants them to. That doesn’t seem likely!
I don’t know PA politics.................
what am i missing this is great news right ??
unless im missing something this means penn is flipping to Trump period !! Am i wrong ?

Good god. That's devastating to Democrats. You want evidence of massive fraud, here it is.
As of last night, Mastriano himself reported that he has only 10 senators on board to convene a special session of congress to get this done.
As of now, the resolution has only been introduced... it has not been passed.
Anything new on this from last night?
Given that the democrat Pennsylvania governor won’t call a special session of the Pennsylvania legislature, it’s important that the intentions of the legislature be written down publicly so future lawsuits to oppose certification can use this as evidence.
The only reason I knew that much was listening to Mastriano on War Room, being interviewed by Bannon. I don’t think they pulled off extending the session so if that IS the case, if I understand the situation, the Resolution won’t go anywhere.

These men are the bravest people on the planet to move forward.
I don’t believe the governor has any role in this, including calling the legislature into a special session for this purpose.
“I’m in Florida”
Quit showin’ off dude.
This is from the PA HOUSE speaker—Senate might be a different story.
“House Speaker Bryan Cutler, R-Quarryville, and Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte, released a joint statement saying that they would not be calling their chamber to Harrisburg on Monday, the final possible day for the 2019-20 session of the Legislature to meet.
“We are physically unable to consider any new legislation before the end of session,” they wrote in the statement. “A simple resolution takes three legislative days for consideration and a concurrent resolution takes five legislative days to move through both chambers, which means we do not have the time needed to address any new resolutions in our current session.”
