“Dozens of Pennsylvania Republican state legislators, including the speaker of the House, are calling on the state’s Republican-heavy congressional delegation to challenge President-elect Joe Biden’s victory when federal lawmakers certify the presidential election Jan. 6. ‘[W]e the undersigned members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly urge you to object, and vote to sustain such objection, to the Electoral College votes received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,’ the lawmakers wrote in a letter to the state’s congressional delegation.”
“Though an initial version included 75 signatories – more than half of the GOP lawmakers in the legislature – it was quickly pulled after some lawmakers indicated they didn’t intend to sign onto the letter. The escalation from Republican lawmakers in the crucial swing state is the most aggressive effort to date from GOP elected officials to block Biden’s election, and it comes amid an increasingly forceful pressure campaign from President Donald Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani. Though Trump and his allies have been claiming widespread fraud and misconduct, they’ve produced no evidence to support their allegations and have been repeatedly shot down in their legal efforts to throw out millions of Biden votes across the country” – Politico.
