Associated Press: How Pa. GOP gov pick could turn election lies into action

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Doug Mastriano is not the only candidate who won a Republican primary on Tuesday after embracing Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen. But no GOP contender did more to subvert that presidential election -- and no one may be better positioned to subvert the next one -- than Mastriano if he’s elected Pennsylvania’s governor.

In one of the most politically competitive states in the U.S., the newly minted Republican nominee for governor was deeply involved in the former president’s efforts to overturn the last election. He was at the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

If he’s elected in November, Mastriano has pledged to end no-excuse vote by mail, a process that hundreds of thousands used in this week’s primary. He also wants to force millions of registered voters to register again.

While he would have to contend with a Legislature that may not go along with his plans, he would still have significant authority over elections because Pennsylvania is one of the few states where governors have the power to appoint the secretary of state. As Pennsylvania’s chief elections official, that official oversees how elections are managed, gives counties guidance on how to conduct elections and, crucially, certifies the final results.

The Uniparty must stop Mastriano from being governor.

The RINOs would rather see a Democrat elected than have a MAGA governor. If it was only Mastriano on the ticket, the RINOs will turn a blind eye to Democrat cheating.

However, if the Mitch-endorsed RINO McCormick is the winner of the primary, how will they be able to steal it from Mastriano without cheating McCormick? Will they throw McCormick under the bus in order to prevent Mastriano from being governor?

I had to check if this was commentary or “news”. AP does not indicate commentary but it certainly isn’t news. This is like MSNBC.

It took 3 idiots to write this piece of garbage. They are so afraid of the truth they won’t look past their nose to find it. Most people with a brain know Joke Biden and the democrats committed massive fraud to steal the election. The stooges in the media can scream all they want, it doesn’t change the fact that Biden is an incompetent buffoon who shouldn’t be in the white house.

And that's a good thing.

Repeat all over the nation.

> They are all lies, do you hear!? <

That’s the thing about tbe liberal media. If you disagree with them, you can’t just be wrong. You must be a liar and a racist and a fascist. What those idiots don’t get is that by their behavior THEY are the fascists.

By the way, Trump is right. The 2020 election was stolen. See my tagline.
