Associated Press: How Pa. GOP gov pick could turn election lies into action
apnews ^ | May 18 | By STEVE PEOPLES, MARC LEVY and FARNOUSH AMIRI

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 AP and Rueters are PURE EVIL they know they are evil and they know we know they are evil... They are trying to save themselves, but the fact is when the destruction they have brought comes to obvious fruition, they will try to hide under a rock. But this time they will have brought so much evil they will be consumed by it. The leftist are scrambling because they know they have brought upon themselves their own destruction.

The RINOs would rather see a Democrat elected than have a MAGA governor.
The RiNO's, the Murdoch's and Fox News Corp.

Fox News silence on all things 2020 election can only be a cover-up.

See my tag line.

Keep up the BS, Ass Press. Everyone knows the election was stolen, and we are fighting back by voting for people like Mastriano.

The movie is a pimple on a fly’s butt, and no one will ever see the inside of a courthouse, much less prison. The leftists are in charge; get back in your place, serf.

“...after embracing Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen.” AP = America’s Pravda.

“…after embracing Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen.”

That’s not at all biased is it? /S

It is striking how much so-called journalism changed overnight following the stolen 2020 election.

Before that event, it was enough to simply use the adverb “alleged” to indicate that something is unproven, or the word “opinion” to indicate an idea is not shared by everyone. Now, so-called journalists feel the need to call allegations or opinions that offend them “lies”.

It’s like they are saying the quiet part out loud: they do not intend to lay out the case impartially and let people judge for themselves. They do not intend to leave any questions unanswered - even if they ARE unanswered.

It’s downright insulting the way they deliberately sabotage any hope that a reader might think for himself or come to his own conclusions.

I hope the insult of all this is soon noted by readers and that they respond by putting these “news” articles to good use as bird cage or litter box liners.

There will be cheating, but I bet it will be only a fraction of what happened in 2020.

Thanks to 2000 Mules, True the Vote, Project Veritas and many other fronts, the ones that masterminded the 2020 operation will have a very difficult tie recruiting. Imagine you are one of the mules that was paid to traffic counterfeit ballots. 2000 Mules just sent you a big wake up call - you were being tracked while you committed a felony.

Now imagine being a recruiter trying to line up mules to do it again - how do you know you’re not talking to a Project Veritas mole?

I think everyone - from the financiers like Zuckerberg, to the strategists and organizers, to regional coordinators, to counterfeiters and launderers, to mules and truck drivers - all of them are going to think twice this time - now that they know they are being watched.

There will be cheating - but a lot of them will take ahead pass. Zuckerberg already said there won’t be a repeat of his $400 million cash infusion.

The RINOS Wouldn’t care if McCormick lost. They were happy to lose those 2 run off senate seats in Georgia.

Someone calling it a "lie" needs to be immediately hit in the mouth.

What is it with Al AP? How can STEVE PEOPLES, MARC LEVY and FARNOUSH AMIRI get away with calling what Trump says regarding the Stolen election “Trump’s lies?”

How come there are no consequences for this?

It always requires multiple people for AssPress to write an article.

His ideas for improving voter integrity sounds great to me.

He said he was going to be better than Ron DeSantis. I like Ron second best, but Doug will be a close third.

NB. I love Trump before Ron
