Note: Multiple GOP counties in PA are allowing mail-in ballots to be cured, as it is allowed under state and federal law, upheld by state and federal courts since 2020.
A few GOP bad actors are not.
It is the right thing to do for voters, no matter their party. 🇺🇸 #PAVotes
GOP counties that are curing include Beaver, Lawrence and Fayette.
Curing is not limited to dates. Since 2020 and even before with absentees, counties have helped voters fix errors with missing envelopes and signatures.
This shouldn’t be controversial. Let voters vote. #PAVotes
In Nov 2020, Trump tried to throw out millions of PA votes, including over curing.
State courts said no. Trump-appointed federal Judge Bibas tossed it. SCOTUS rejected the appeal.
Reporters should stop reporting election comments from known sources of false and misleading information about PA’s election NOW. Trump, Mastriano and @PAHouseGOP all documented to have done this in 2020 and already at it in 2022. It’s irresponsible to quote them on the matter.
🚨PA Election Alert: The extremists who invented lies about PA’s 2020 election are at it again — using the exact same tactics.
Thread on this but a preface: what they are doing is *the story*.
Repeating their lies only helps them spread. But they do need accountability. 🧵
Too often, we just litigate the lie. But journalists, etc, should first shine a light on those lying, and their tactics and intentions. This helps disqualify — without just spreading the lie.
Before I even get to the new PA Big Lie, let’s explore who’s doing this again and why.
The source of this new PA lie is the same person from the same group that invented and spread a lie in 2020 about more votes than voters.
You’ve heard this one: Trump cited it on January 6th while urging his supporters to descend on the Capitol. pennlive.com/elections/2020…
Given *the U.S. Senate* existing in its current broken form, this is a pretty strong deal. Puts even more pressure on GOP state legislatures like PA to act.
Particularly intrigued by this. Mastriano and other pro-gun PA GOP legislators have pledged to try to block any new federal gun safety restrictions. This would likely make the list.
Very interested to see whether Mastriano comes out against this bipartisan deal. This is what he said earlier this year about *any* new federal gun safety measures. #PAGOV
It’s accountability time. #Jan6Hearings beginning now. More PA context below.
My 🧵 setting the scene for how @PAGOP engaged in this anti-American conspiracy to overturn Trump’s loss, void millions of PA votes and have kept the MAGA lies and election sabotage alive ⬇️
