Trump supporters from all over, state lawmakers and armed militia members gathered at the Pennsylvania Capitol to rally for Trump Saturday, while ignoring the projection of a Biden win. penncapital-star.com/election-2020/… ImageImageImageImage
.@letsgomathias was also at the event, and noticed even more far-right messages and signage then I did. Here is his report from Harrisburg. m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5f…
And @BrettSholtis has some delightful scene as well, including interviewing the inevitable protesters who brings a ram's horn to blow through. witf.org/2020/11/07/whi…
You'll forgive me, TL, for pushing this rally on you. I understand the election appears over for many of you. But for a very loyal group of Trump supporters, including armed groups and even elected officials, they have not yet begun to fight.

Morning everyone. I am on the Pennsylvania state Capitol today. You may have see reports about Pa. GOP state lawmakers pushing for a legislative election audit. I will be in the digging into this today. Image
Rep. Eric Nelson, R-Westmoreland, said he is attending the presser. "I have a large section of constituents who are very concerned, be that misinformation or legitimate." He said a "bipartisan investigation" would clarify those concerns.
By my count, 19 lawmakers (some showed after photo) are here. All conservative Republicans. They are asking for the legislature to have oversight of the election results. Image

So you might have seen this story floating around ... (1/?) abc27.com/news/local/ant…
This "story" is just a reprinted press release, which is an annoying journalism problem. Also, there's a lack of quotes so some graphs that are clearly from the release look like the authoritative writing of the news station.
But, alll that aside, I am a reporter. I was interested in seeing this trend pop in Pennsylvania after Ohio and Michigan. So, I decided to dig a little more.
