Pennsylvania Republicans plan 'extraordinary measures' to delay election results

WASHINGTON — Republicans in the Pennsylvania state legislature on Tuesday said they would take “extraordinary measures” to find out whether the election in their state was fair, despite having no evidence of any wrongdoing.

State Rep. Dawn Keefer, a Republican from York County, announced that Republicans in the state legislature would move to conduct an audit of the election, and that the state should not certify the election results, or select electors to the Electoral College, until it is completed.

“The General Assembly needs to take extraordinary measures to answer these extraordinary questions,” Keefer said while speaking in front of a group of a dozen or so House Republicans.

But Keefer admitted that she and the Pennsylvania GOP do not have anything more than questions. There is no evidence of anything resembling coordinated cheating in the election.

“We've just gotten a lot of allegations,” Keefer said, referring to what she said was a flurry of calls and e-mails from voters “who are concerned and outraged by the circumstances surrounding this election.”

Of course, the only circumstances that would lead any voter to believe there might have been cheating has been the evidence-free complaints from President Trump that such cheating did occur, and that Democrats are trying to cheat.

Anyone know what an election audit looks like in PA?

And is this something the legislature can do autonomously, or do they need the executive (gov) to carry it out?

despite having no evidence of any wrongdoing.

Yeah. Sure. Yahoo "News."

“Evidence-free” says the Democrat Party operative at Yahoo! Snews...

[Junk Silver]

I guess there’s not much chance we’ll see Yahoo news report that Joe Biden is claiming to be president “with no evidence to support his baseless unproven claims”.

despite having no evidence of any wrongdoing....

I don’t know the answer to your question but I know I’d rather die in a fight than have these lying, dem owned, POS scum, along with dems and tech and China and soros running our country.

I’ve had enough.

In the meantime I will pray for Trump’s victory

autonomously, but they need the Exec Branch’s (Gov) cooperation.
If they don’t get it, they will sue.

despite having no evidence of any wrongdoing

The Courts and the Governor Illegally usurped the Legislatures Authority granted to them in Article 2 Section 1 of the US Constitution, they can THROW OUT THE WHOLE ELECTION if they choose and pick New Electors

“No evidence of any wrongdoing “. Drink!!!

[The Fop]

Now we’ve moved from unfounded to extraordinary

[Arcadian Empire]

Good.

[tinyowl]

They could just delay and delay and not certify and oh gee that’d be terrible if they had to send their own delegation.

[hanamizu]

Don’t know about election audits, but the Constitution gives the state legislatures sole authority to select their states’ Electors. Governors have no say in it.

What is an affidavit legal definition?
A voluntarily sworn declaration of written facts. Affidavits are commonly used to present evidence in court.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

No evidence except for the endless legal briefs that unconstitutionally overturned election laws.

[fieldmarshaldj]

The PA legislature MUST send the Republican Electors to D.C.

Period, end of story.

Statistical anomalies are evidence of multiple fraud but I don't expect journalist to understand mathematics so the confusion of their ignorance is understandable, however, not excused.

IMHO JimRob needs to start clamping down and blocking links to these fake news sites. It’s fine if people want to post excepts and source, but we shouldn’t be helping to drive traffic to their site by linking them.
