On the morning of Election Day in western Pennsylvania, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf mentioned on a local radio show that his wife had submitted his mail-in ballot for him — a direct violation of Pennsylvania election law punishable by up to either a year in prison or a $1,000 fine — or possibly both.
Had the progressive Democrat signed the voting bill that passed this summer, H.B. 1300, any member of his household could have dropped it off for him. Moreover, it would have established early in-person voting and required signature verification of mail-in ballots.
When he vetoed the bill, Wolf said at the time it was because it “restricted the freedom to vote.”
This story will last a day or two in the local news. What reporters and elected officials will miss about this moment is where the seed is planted in the public psyche — just one more snippet of information adding to their dissatisfaction with the party in power. It is one of many signs collected over many years that insiders like Wolf are detached from the people they govern.
Their detachment is not just geographical but cultural, and it is not limited to politics. For decades, the nation's cultural curators have operated through corporations, national sports organizations, Hollywood, academia, the national news media. More and more, they have become detached from the people who buy, watch, or are educated by them.

They don't know why they have been sent to DC, nor do they care. They only care about power and enriching themselves. Us plebes be damned.
Their only concern is keeping office.
Exactly right.
And once again, a democrat taliban politician will have nothing happen to him where a regular Joe would have had the book thrown at him.
Well they've never been 'attached' from the get go. They don't run to serve the people by any means, they run to advance and line their own nests. THAT is what they are.....self-centered hypocrites who travel on what they perceive is their higher road over a population used fully for their needs and wants. Only they are exempt for the law.
Tom Wolf is an ass but this is a little on the petty side.
Biden wasn't sent to Washington by the voters. He is there by virtue of massive vote fraud. He is a usurper and a pretender to the office. Everything he does is an affront to our Constitution and a giant F.U. to the citizens of this country.

That is right. Elections alone cannot restore free government.
Oh, yes they do! And you seem to be unaware of it.
Like Marxism or Humanism or Catholicism or journalism, governmental politics is a religion; and they have become the priests, the clergy of it. They have distinguished themselves from the hoi polloi, the many information-disadvantaged body of "the governed ones" by seeking out and being coached in and manipulated by the higher practitioners and ideologians of the discipline. This is achieved by determinedly learning the rules and doctrines of it, and how to get around those supposed calls to higher morality, but actually doing the exact opposite.
The goal is to satisfy the lust for becoming more wealthy and dominating fellow humans who have been conned into giving them a fulcrum to exert leverage of using their taxes and gullibility, to the advantage of the party organization concentrators.
You either belong to a cartographically defined pool of powerless individual constituents, or you have gotten elevated to a position of the voter-ordained political priesthood to control blessings, preferential rewards, and punitive treatment earned by complaining mavericks of the sheeple. The expectations of the supporting ballot-signers is that they should worship the office-holder with tithes and tenure given to the person holding down that hard-earned position of control.

He should get all the mercy he would show to a republican who did the same. And this is a cage death match for all the marbles. No mercy and he should be prosecuted.
