Appearing on Sloppy Steve Bannon’s “War Room” program Friday morning, and Newsmax Friday evening, Pennsylvania State Sen. Doug Mastriano announced that he’s moving forward with his colleagues on passing a joint resolution of the Pennsylvania Senate and House of Representatives in order to reclaim the legislature’s authority, under the U.S. Constitution, to directly appoint electors to the Electoral College.
On his Newsmax appearance, Senator Mastriano reported that a Joint Resolution to award Pennsylvania’s Electors to Donald Trump had been introduced into both the state House and Senate, that additional Republican cosponsors were being organized to sign on over the weekend, and that they plan to move the resolution through both houses on Monday, Nov. 30. On the question of the election having already been certified, Mastriano said that the Joint Resolution would be the legislature re-taking its authority to decide the means of choosing the state’s electors. “We put a man on the Moon 50 years ago, but we can’t run a fair election today in Pennsylvania. Even Stevie Wonder can see that we have a problem here.”
Mastriano referred to 1994, when a Pennsylvania state Senate race included so much cheating that a federal district judge threw out the election and the Democrat, William G. Stinson, who supposedly won the election, ordering that his Republican opponent, Bruce Marks, instead be seated in the state Senate. “This is extraordinary relief,” the judge wrote. “However, it is appropriate because extraordinary conduct by the Stinson campaign and the board tainted the entirety of the absentee ballots.”
On his earlier appearance on Bannon’s show, Mastriano reflected on the immense quantity of evidence put forward at the vote fraud hearings in Gettysburg on Wednesday, Nov. 25, and blasted the media as political hacks failing to cover the shocking news. “And that [testimony] was only the tip of the iceberg.”
What’s next? “Obviously a joint resolution saying that we are going to probably grab back our constitutional authority in Pennsylvania.” After recounting the history that in 1938 the Pennsylvania legislature handed over the choice of electors to the Secretary of State, who would award them based on a popular election. “This makes sense if the election’s fair, but if it’s not fair, it’s handing the power of selecting the delegates [electors] to that same person who cheated.”
“So thank God we have the Federal Constitution, which says we’re going to exercise our Constitutional power here. So we’re going to do a resolution between the House and Senate, hopefully today. I’ve spent two hours online trying to coordinate this with my colleagues. And there’s a lot of good people working this here. The resolution is going to say that we’re going to take our power back. We’re gonna seat the electors. Now obviously we’re gonna need the support of the leadership of the House and Senate, we’re getting there on that.”
