Admitting to breaking the law just before Donald Trump takes over the Department of Justice is a choice, and it was one made by two Pennsylvania election officials in Bucks County, PA. In a shocking video, Democrat Commissioner Diane Marseglia can heard proclaiming that she's going to purposefully ignore multiple court rulings to count illegal votes.
At the center of this is a contentious Senate race in which Republican Dave McCormick defeated Democrat incumbent Sen. Bob Casey. Yet, Democrats in Pennsylvania continue to try to manufacture votes to flip the result.
If you want to know what rigging an election looks like, this is it.
#BucksCounty Democrat Commissioners violate the rule of law and ignore PA Supreme Court ruling!
Democrat Commissioners Diane Marseglia and Bob Harvie voted today to count illegal ballots, against PA Supreme Court ruling, in an attempt to aid former Senator Bob Casey.
"...precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. For me if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it." - Diane Marseglia
Thank you to Republican Commissioner Gene DiGirolamo for making a motion to uphold the law!
Our attorneys are working with attorneys from the PAGOP and RNC to address this matter.
DIGIROLAMO: We reject all three categories of these ballots.
RECORDER: Your motion is to reject or dismiss the challenges in this category?
DIGIROLAMO: Correct, yeah.
MARSEGLIA: Not going to second that mostly because I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country and people violate laws any time they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it.
The background here involves counting ballots that don't pass the signature tests (among other disqualifying situations) laid out by Pennsylvania law. Multiple courts, including the state's Supreme Court, have upheld those laws. Yet Marseglia along with fellow Democrat commissioner Bob Harvie voted to count them anyway, not out of ignorance, but while admitting they are breaking the law.
In the end, will this change the outcome of the Pennsylvania Senate race? It appears that isn't likely. Even if a court didn't step in, there aren't enough ballots outstanding to change the outcome (at least, that's what I'm being told by McCormick's team).
With that said, I don't care. These two need to be made an example of. The Trump DOJ needs to prosecute Marseglia and Harvie to the fullest extent of the law. Both are on video knowingly violating the law and if they get away with it, imagine what they and others will do during the next election. The only way to fight back against this kind of subversion of our elections is to create deterrence. Election officials should be just as subject to jail time as any random voter who violates election laws.
Bkmk
ARREST THEM!
So if someone breaks into your house and beats you up, it's because they want the courts to pay attention to it? People do it any time they want, right?
Pay attention to what, exactly?
The fact that you’re breaking the law?
Or the presumed “fact” that you wouldn’t be breaking the law if you didn’t have a really darned good reason for doing so?
They can justify anything (literally) as long as their cult does it.
I keep reading this and checking if this is the Bee
What an idiot.
Pretty sure it’s FIVE YEARS IN JAIL per violation for refusing to tabulate each vote properly.

Trump’s DOJ needs to look into this.
They can also be sued personally for acting contrary to Constitution.
Hope Lara Trump’s team is all over this.
Protest the election....go to jail.
Stealing the election is perfectly ok
Ahole idiot JohnRoberts OK with it.

I would assume Lara Trump and Charlie Kirk are doubling down on this??
THIS IS UNREAL..
I CANNOT BELIEVE MY EYES READING ABOUT TWO PA OFFICIALS TALKING ABOUT BREAKING THE LAW.
WTH KIND OF PEOPLE ARE IN THE DONKEY PARTY????
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
She sounds like a nut
Al Franken steal 2.0.
Another illiterate journalist?
I assume it should read "multiple court rulings to not count illegal votes."
President Trump should announce right now that the first order of DOJ business will be to bring to justice those Pa. miscreants who would flaunt election law.
Sure hope the trump team is on this
Had enough?
