Pennsylvania Senator Doug Mastriano said Friday, Nov. 26, that Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled state legislature will withdraw its constitutional authority to appoint members of the state’s electoral college and will begin the process next Monday, Nov. 30.

In an interview with Bannon’s Office of War Information, Mastriano said he has been in contact with the Pennsylvania Senate and House of Representatives to urge the Republican-controlled Pennsylvania Legislature to take back from the Secretary of State’s office the power to appoint members of Pennsylvania’s electoral college, according to the Epoch Times. Because at the Gettysburg hearing, many tellers and other witnesses accused Pennsylvania of serious fraud and illegal practices during this year’s presidential election.

He also said that the leaders of the Pennsylvania Senate and House of Representatives, as well as half of the Senate and House of Representatives, support his proposal.

I’ve spent two hours online coordinating this with my colleagues,” Mastriano said. We have a lot of good people here working on this, and we’re hoping that both chambers will pass a resolution, preferably on November 27th. This resolution would ask the Pennsylvania Legislature to take back the power to appoint electors and we will appoint electors. Obviously, we need the support of the leaders of the Senate and House, and we will have their support.”

He acknowledged that the move means that Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled legislature is poised to take back the right to appoint electors from the state’s Democratic governor and secretary of state. He said, “That’s what we’re going to do.”

But he also acknowledged that the process may require a struggle. I know we’re going to hear strong protests from Governor Tom Wolf and Secretary of State Kathy Boockwar,” he said. In fact Boockwar should have resigned years ago …… she shouldn’t even have been appointed.”

Once again, Mastriano stressed that the Pennsylvania legislature should indeed take back the right to appoint electors, since there is so much evidence of fraud and scheming in this presidential election. He said, “We can’t let this happen all around us and stand idly by.” “If there is a lot of intrigue and shenanigans in this year’s election, there is a need for Parliament to intervene, so we will fight this and if necessary we will take them to the high court.”
