Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Doug Mastriano said in a new “Report and Assessment of Election Fraud Hearings” that election fraud and corruption in Pennsylvania is so bad that the election is a disgrace to the United States.

Mastriano released the “Election Hearing Report and Assessment” for his district (Pennsylvania’s 33rd Congressional District) on Dec. 21.

He began his report by saying, “On November 25 we held historic hearings on election violations in Pennsylvania. Thousands of Pennsylvania voters had previously told of violations in the November 3 general election, so the purpose of this hearing was to get to the bottom of the Pennsylvania election process. This hearing has shown us that election fraud is rife in Pennsylvania and that it must be investigated and corrected.”

In his report, Mastriano cited more than a dozen proven fraudulent practices in Pennsylvania, such as individuals testifying to the existence of human rights abuses in Pennsylvania and experts testifying to vote counting anomalies in Pennsylvania that changed the outcome of the general election. At one peak of the count, hundreds of thousands of votes suddenly appeared, and 570,000 of them were counted in Biden’s name, with only 3,200 votes counted for Trump (which equates to 99.54 percent for Biden and only 0.56 percent for Trump).

“Other violations included: mail-in ballots not being verified by Republicans in Philadelphia (Philadelphia) and Allegheny County (Allegheny County); and Montgomery County (Montgomery County) not getting Pennsylvania Department of State guidance on ‘fixing’ defective ballots.

“spikes in counting at certain times, even exceeding the counting capacity of voting machines; Philadelphia processed hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots without citizen oversight; and mail-in ballots in many precincts were separated from their envelopes and could not be verified, making recounts meaningless.

“Philadelphia confined supervisors to the outside of the fence at least 10 feet from the counters and Allegheny County supervisors were confined to at least 15 feet away; mail-in ballots were opened in parts of Allegheny County without supervisors to oversee the opening process; mobile polling places were established in violation of the law and these polling places also accepted mail-in ballots, which voters could receive upon request.

“Legal evidence was missing in Delaware County (Delaware); a licensed supervisor who had been authorized to supervise ballots was denied access to the counting site; Montgomery County had almost no supervisors and no verified signatures; an elderly voter voted for Trump but the receipt did not show it; Northampton County (Northampton) election workers illegally audited ballots in advance and did not allow a meaningful audit process to monitor the votes.”

In his report, Mastriano said the Pennsylvania Governor and Secretary of State have refused to investigate these serious allegations despite the evidence; the egregious refusal of election officials and mainstream media to acknowledge Pennsylvania’s widespread election problems and disregard for voters’ sacred right to vote is appalling.

“Every legitimate vote must be counted, and anyone who commits election fraud must be held accountable. Without free and fair elections, our nation will not survive long.” He said.

Mastriano looked back in history and said the United States has spent millions of dollars, at the risk of American lives, to oversee general elections in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo and Bosnia, helping those countries achieve safer, more secure and free elections. Pennsylvania is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and the election process here is less free and secure than it was in Afghanistan during the post-war elections.

“Why can’t Pennsylvania do it, and doesn’t want to do it? Pennsylvania has a serious problem and it has to be fixed.” Mastriano said.

“The 2020 U.S. election is a disgrace to our nation,” he said at the end of his report, adding that the election must be addressed based on the facts and the personal sworn testimony of these fine Pennsylvania citizens.
