One Patriot With A Backbone Shows The PA GOP Establishment How It Is Done

In 2019 the Republican-controlled legislature in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania made a backroom deal with the Democrats and agreed to move the state to mail-in voting. It was a disastrous move. The 2020 election was marked by historic levels of fraud, and to this day major questions have never been resolved regarding who really won.
Ever since the white-hot base of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania has demanded that their elected representatives do the right thing and repeal Act 77, the bill that brought mail-in voting to the state. Ever since the GOP establishment has employed smoke, mirrors, and other parlor tricks to suggest they were taking the demands seriously while actually doing nothing meaningful.
Undeterred Doug McLinko a county commissioner from Bradford County, Pennsylvania decided to take action. He filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Act 77 under the Pennsylvania state constitution.
Today the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, an appellate court with original jurisdiction in cases involving the state government announced its decision in McLinko’s suit. They found Act 77 unconstitutional and declared it null and void.
Mail-in voting in Pennsylvania is dead. The state will now return to in person voting in line with the desires of the vast […]
2020 Was Only The Beginning: 2022 Is The Year Of The Big Steal In Pennsylvania

In November 2020, Pennsylvania held an election. Pursuant to Act 77, a bill passed inexplicably in 2019 by a Republican-controlled legislature, the state implemented mass, no excuses mail-in voting. Decisions by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the partisan Secretary of State subsequently stripped out what few safeguards the legislature had bothered to implement.
The result was predictable. Opportunities for fraud were everywhere. One report, compiled after the election was over, found that the number of votes counted was more than 200,000 higher than the number of people who actually voted. Two hundred thousand votes somehow seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
No one in Harrisburg cared. Fourteen months later the legislature has made no move to return the state to in-person voting. An “audit” of the vote drags on with no discernible impact and with no clearly defined goals. Pennsylvania, it appears, intends to go into the 2022 election without fixing any of the issues manifested in 2020.As the Republicans slumber, however, the Democrats are moving with dispatch. What happened in 2020 was only the beginning.
In Pennsylvania The Fix Is In
by Charles “Sam” Faddis December 30, 2021
The Secretary of State in Pennsylvania has responsibility for overseeing the integrity of the electoral process. Or, at least that used to be the case. Now it appears that the job of the Secretary of State is to ensure that the Democratic Party takes control of all aspects of state government and to manipulate the electoral apparatus as much as necessary to make sure that happens.
Governor Tom Wolf is in his last year. Pennsylvania is in the runup to crucial 2022 elections. A court case challenging the state’s mail-in voting provisions shows every indication of succeeding and taking the state back to a traditional system grounded in in-person voting by individuals whose identity has been established. That development threatens the entire thrust of Democratic efforts in Pennsylvania, which have been focused on “broadening” the electorate and dramatically loosening controls on who can vote and how.
So, Governor Wolf has brought in the fixer, Leigh Chapman to be his new Secretary of State. In this capacity, she will have broad power to make the rules governing the next election. Chapman comes to the job from running a group called Deliver My Vote. Not surprisingly, the whole mission of Deliver […]
