If you added the election fraud in Atlanta (GA), Clark County (NV), Maricopa County (AZ), Cook County (IL) and Wayne County (MI) together, you would only have a quarter of the election fraud that exists in Philadelphia. That is the scale of historic, generationally evident, fraud in Philadelphia county.
That is also the context for why any attempt to audit Philadelphia will become a cataclysmic battleground.
The revolutionary battles of Lexington and Concord will almost equate in modern significance if the people who live in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania can pull this off and stand victorious.
Everyone knows Philly is massively corrupt, even the most hardened Democrats will admit they know it; but no-one knows the exact scale of that Democrat corruption that has controlled Philadelphia County elections for decades; and an independent forensic ballot audit would reveal it.
That scale of known Philadelphia ballot fraud is exactly why the Acting Secretary of State in Pennsylvania, Veronica W. Degraffenreid, has issued a state-wide directive seeking to block any Pennsylvania legislative attempt to audit the 2020 election results [pdf LINK].
[Source pdf]
The law is on the side of the legislature. The PA Senate has the power and legal authority, but Governor Wolf, Secretary of State Degraffenreid and State Attorney General Josh Shapiro just don’t care.
They can, and will, lose every court battle and still they will not comply.
Senator Doug Mastriano responds: [Twitter Link and Rumble Link] Mastriano knows of the power of the Legislature to oversee elections and conduct investigations to serve that constitutional purpose. Mastriano knows the law is on his side.
To many Pennsylvania voters believe that their vote did not count. I believe that by undertaking a forensic investigation of the 2020 and 2021 election results, faith in our election process can and will be restored. https://t.co/LUzCTzs8vS
— Senator Doug Mastriano (@SenMastriano) July 8, 2021
Lord, Bless Mastriano with clarity, courage, strength …….and wellness.
As well as access to the ballots to accomplish the audit! Amen!
The acting SOS harps about third party access to the cheat machines while a third party billionaire financed the drop box ballot harvesting operations in the state.
That’s different when the third party “donor” is a Democrat. Cheating is okay for them!
Amen!
So be it Lord!
So far hes holding the line. I think they all wanted to see what happened in AZ before moving and I think that’s intelligent of them. I suspect they also can feel the mood of the the voting base and they know a credible audit is not just good constitutionally but also politically. Sundance is correct by saying DC can only be changed from the state and local level.
And that is why Obama, Lawfare, Holder will try to federalize elections.
I don’t see how they can do this legislatively even if they have the votes.
The Constitution is specific on this: it would take an amendment to the Constitution to change it, but we all know they do want they want and never pay a price.
Pitchforks on the ready.
This meeting got very little coverage on conservative outlets that I saw. Just listen to first 20 seconds and listen to Sharpton’s threats/incitement to violence.
Not sure what has the left more shook…..the audits or the new voter integrity laws.
https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/watch/rev-al-sharpton-says-voting-rights-is-not-gonna-be-a-one-sided-fight-116501061978
Sharpton. Now that guy needs to be wearing his ass for a turtleneck!! Twana Brawley, not paying his taxes…no consequences. And someone explain to me the prerequisites of becoming a “Reverend”?? If he’s a “Reverend”, I’m Billy Graham!
It worries me, as important as the outcome of this battle is, that the example of AZ was needed to get Mastriano to take meaningful action. I hope the mental foundation is now on firm footing and all necessary precautions are being taken. Simply ask yourself, what would you do next if you were Joebama? and plan accordingly
Mastriano has been trying to get an audit started for quite a while, but couldn’t get a majority vote in his committee to proceed until now. I believe there were 2 Republican holdouts. I’m not sure why they changed their mind, maybe as part of the next play with the Biden visit on Tuesday.
Im aware but it does worry me that it appears to be the example of AZ that made the difference however. They have to really believe in what they are doing and why and actually give a damn about it or they might fold not just to Joebama Marxist pressures but possibly even death threats. There are Trillions at stake.
Remember the unusual death of one of the staffers affiliated to Gov Kemp in GA?
Also, I believe its the extreme corrupt federal government behavior more then anything else that is driving the resistance right now and for that I thank Joebama for keeping the drive alive.
Free Speech …
You’ll be happy and so relieved to know you have it somewhat backwards.
Mastriano is the one who organized to have the first hearings where we got to see Guilliani’s mountains of evidence of voter fraud. He was on his own with that.
THAT kicked off the other states to do hearings.
Thank GOD AZ then later does audits.
Now in the next step, Mastriano is being a leader AGAIN (as he has on other things in between by the way) getting this audit started and like a smart person which he is seeing how it’s done.
This guy is so impressive. We should do a whole thread on him someday.
He’s a profile in courage his whole life.
I wish I had time to find something for you about that, but Mastriano thus far at least has been one of the handful of heroes.
NOW, he DOES need you to push the rest of your corrupt legislators.
He’s solid but needs support with these squishy corruptocrats.
Great! So your saying that one foot in front of the other will eventually get us there. Yeah, remember the hearings and he appears to be the leader in PA. I remember how shocking the evidence presented was and remember the election was certified regardless and American citizens labeled as terrorists as an added bonus.
So No, Im not happy nor relieved.
Im more critical because over the last 5 years there have been so many investigations on so many levels and nothing ever materializes other then us knowing more about the crimes that we already know were committed and I believe that is mainly due to the Media being complicit in the cover ups and crimes and as you know, the enemy still control that Media.
Mastriano is low key, a trait developed in his Army Intel career no doubt. He’s been working on it since Giuliani’s presentation.
Let those senators + reps in Harrisburg know support for election audit is directly linked to their re-election chances.
A simple pass / fail test , really.
A back room deal somewhere would not only make a weak Harrisburg rep wealthy, it could trigger Dominion into action come their re-election. Just sayin
They know the FBI and DOJ are captured so there is no risk.
Georgia on my mind….
Those reps will likey, and unfortunately have to consider which is more important. Thier jobs or the lives of themselves and their family. I would not be surprised if they have already been threatened. Philly is big time organized crime, including politicians and judges. Soros et. al. will be pulling out all the stops, as well as his financial resources.
Mastriano is a true patriot. It will be a battle of separation of powers. The question is sill it make it to the USSC and within the 22 month time frame of preserving the election data. The positive is if the Senate gets to forensically audit, it won’t take long to find massive fraud.
More than 2.7 million ballots were cast by mail in the state, that’s where the fraud is…
In Pennsylvania, Trump tallied 407,000 more votes than he did in 2016…
Imagine what they had to do to find Biden more than 500,000 votes over Hillary 2016…
Nearly 77% of registrants voted? …Pennsylvania lost population…there were 750,000 more ballots cast in 2020 than in 2016…really?
My wager is ‘Trump Won’ by more than a half million votes in Pennsylvania.
That is what a Full (not Fractional) Forensic Audit of 2.7 million by-mail ballots will reveal.
Did you not just read the article about election fraud?
PA voters recently voted to strip Gov. Wolf of his covid “emergency” powers and reopen the state.
GOP pols believe in self preservation like any other politician. Those two pols would be marked for destruction if they blocked it any longer.
Oballah would tamper with the evidence which is why Republicans better get a secret team of people to surveil the locations of where the ballots and machines are being kept and account for all who enter or exist that area
.
The AZ SoS requested a few days ago, that the AZ AG look into PDJT’s — and other R’s — outreach to the Maricopa County BoS about the election which occurred before the AZ audit commenced.
Surely she will protest this move by resident Bribem to do this in PA . . . that is, if she is consistent, and all.
Basically you’re describing how the politics of public opinion works. A similar set of circumstances surround the larger suspicions about the entire fraudulent presidential election. As multiple pieces fall into place public opinion slowly changes and then politics begins to follow. It is this death-by-a-thousand-cuts that is so terrifying progressives. They know the election was stolen—know their own ultimate and politically fatal vulnerabilities—which is why they are so desperately backing-and-filling in an effort to protect the narrative.
Only it ain’t working as more and more Americans see a faltering president promoting an alienating leftest agenda and begin to suspect that the whole thing is just one huge shuck-and-jive con-job. As this body-of-opinion comes to dominate we’re going to see more empirically sound forensic audits which will finally show just how the ’20 election was stolen. And that, of course, raises the dramatically troubling question about what comes next?
I don’t worry about what comes next after we uncover their TREASONOUS COUP. Because *not* uncovering the massive election fraud that deposed our true president is a far worse fate for the free world. ??
If we lose the USA there is no place else to run and hide. The free world will then be effectively over. ??
#GreatResetAgenda21New/One WorldOrder
PA is going to be like Gettysburg.
At least it was in PA.
Irony is incredible ??
Was it in Philly that they boarded up the windows and made election count observers stand across the room? They so richly deserve an audit and this fight must come.
PA’s the one were they didn’t even TRY to hide the fraud, and they were so in-your-face about it
PA is where the Black Panthers stood in front of polling places with bats in the 2012 race. They weren’t prosecuted.
No, that was Detroit – Wayne County to be precise.
Pizza boxes taped to windows to block observation of the corruption on the inside
Philly just simply kicks the poll watchers out. It’s not like the police stop the Democrats from doing so.
https://philly.metro.us/philly-gop-complains-its-poll-watchers-minority-inspectors-are-turned-awayat-polling-places/
It wasn’t just in Philadelphia. My aunt is a GOP poll watcher, and she reports they were all told not to come in the morning after the election because: covid.
I love the image at the bottom. Certainly it is brave men and women who choose to stand up and fight these monsters.
DD
They are the Orcs.
If this is not fixed now, no one’s vote counts ever again.
Even liberal snowflakes get that.
Fix this or just don’t bother voting.
They know it, but don’t care as long as their demands for social justice, equity, gimmedats are entertained.
Not only do they not care about honest elections, but they actually believe the ends justify the means. As long as it helps their side, their agenda, their narrative.
The gimmedats victory will be short lived. Nobody actually takes care of useful idiots after their commie objectives have been reached. Then the gimmedats are no longer useful, and will therefore be relegated to the same trash heap as the Constitutional Republic they helped to collapse.
God’s speed to Sen. Martriano and ALL the volunteers who will spend months counting and auditing the ballots.
The battle will indeed be epic … court challenges, Google balloons and surveillance sweeping up ALL those working on this project. Prayers needed to stay steadfast and hold the line.
Amen!
The corruption in the ” City of Brotherly Love” runs deep. The local media love to portray Philadelphia as a historical monument to cultural and cosmopolitan civility.
In reality it is a Mausoleum. Marble on the outside, Worms on the inside.
In many areas of business and government, audits are routinely done for obvious reasons. The screeching of the Democrats speaks volumes. So does the failure of many (most?) Republicans to energetically support the audits.
Especially the republicans. Imagine if the roles were reversed and it was the dems that got defeated and they wanted audits. In that case the audits would already be done. Republicans will pay for their silence.
Republicans could not be dragging their feet any slower on this. The only reason I can see for their tepid cooperation, is that it sure beats being tried for treason and hung in the town square.
Unfortunately, the corrupt PA state Supreme Court will side with the demonrats every step of the way on their corruption. Afterall, it was them who gave the green light to much of this ballot fraud in the first place.
But as I’ve said before, don’t get locked into looking at the ballot fraud in just Philly. It was just as bad in the collar counties around Philly.
The Legislature should have removed them from the bench for their crimes.
The funny thing, if they did a forensic audit of the election and prove that B-B-B-Biden received 81+ million votes, as for me I’d salute the flag, say President Biden and get on with my life. But, we all know what the truth is, he didn’t win, or they’d be pushing for audits.
Another fun fact. 157 million votes in 2020 and there are only 133 million registered voters…hmm. It’s a miracle such enthusiasm for the walking corpse.
This is for the USA Senator Mastriano. I believe you were a colonel in the Army, what was that oath again. Hold firm sir, real Americans have your back.
So I looked at a couple of places and the 157 million figure is close to what I saw, 155 million and change, however I looked at the registered voters and it states 118 million and change registered. Just wondering where you got these numbers. I’d like to look it up. Thanks
82 + 75 = 157
I’m working off memory with registered voters. Needless to say you can’t trust anything from the swamp rats or the internet. Around 128 million voted in 2016 an increase of 29million.
More registration from the Civil War cemeteries. Like in Michigan, probably all 57 states. ???
Obviously there is a difference between voters and votes. Some votes count more. Move on, nothing to see.
According to Statists there were 168.31 registered voters in 2020. https://www.statista.com/statistics/273743/number-of-registered-voters-in-the-united-states/
This is the same figure as the US census bureau. https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/tables/p20/585/table01.xlsx
94.6% of registered voters voted in 2020.
I call BS.
US turn out statistics are framed against the number of eligible voters, which is the voting age population, not the number of registered voters.
In the UK voter turnout is the percentage of registered voters. https://www.bbc.com/news/election-2019-50779901
And in Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_Canada
And in Australia https://questions.peo.gov.au/questions/how-many-people-voted-in-the-last-election/22
Australia, where I am from, is interesting to compare US results to. 92% of registered voters voted in the 2019 Australian general election according to the link which cites the organisation that runs our elections. That’s odd, because in Australia voting is compulsory and you are fined if you fail to vote (or at least take your ballots and get marked off the roll).
So a higher number of Americans voluntarily voted than a country where voting is mandatory and not voting is punished by a fine. Like I said above that is just not believable.
The mantra should be the same in every county and in every state – Elections conducted with integrity have no fear of an audit, they should welcome it. The only reason to oppose an audit is that the people who conducted the election know that it was not accurate.
Hammer that mantra over and over and over and over and over and over………
It’s not even that we need to prove that massive election fraud has occurred, even if it did. Election laws have always been that ballots are retained for a period of time so that precincts can prove the accuracy of their results. The burden of proof is incumbent on *them* to defend the integrity of their ballots. So.. PROVE IT.
Delay, obfuscate, lie whatever it takes. They will have the full support of the media monopoly, big tech, uniparty some lower courts. They will if necessary call in their Marxist terrorist organization BLM and Antifa to burn the city down. JoeBama has already promised to build it back better.
At this point, it is a fight to fulfill the legislative prerogative of guarding the election process in their state, Pennsylvania . . . God bless them, they HAVE to fight ANYWAY.
Churchill:
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed;if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you maycome to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
PA Supreme Court is Democrat run. I predict they will rule against the audit no matter what, and that this is going nowhere.
It doesn’t matter what the PA court rules. If the legislature wants to conduct an audit they have all the authority they need and there is nothing the court can do to stop it.
I would like to believe that is true, but can you imagine the news cycles if the Senate defies a court order?
… courts now think nothing issuing the wildest rulings…
Will fake news even go there if there’s any chance that someone will point out that state legislatures control state elections, not the Feds or anybody else? I really don’t think that fake news propaganda can handle this truth bomb at the moment.
So they won’t ever open up that conversation.
Instead, they will have flash mobs of angry “supremicists” to carry the news cycles through another look-squirrel. I’m sure the casting call is already out, and the usual actors are now being trained for this purpose.
# ? ? ?????
With the state constitution on their side, plus previous cases setting precedent in their favor, this should be a slam dunk victory from any legal challenges. HOWEVER…like you said the liberal PA Supreme Court will bend over backwards to rule against them with some far fetched legal interpretations.
This one is for all the marbles! Unfortunately, I feel most of the PA state legislators lack the stones (or desire) to face the full force of the Democrat machine and deep state opposition.
Let’s hope I’m wrong.
William Penn’s Prayer for Philadelphia
Inscription.
1684
“And thou, Philadelphia, the virgin settlement of this province – named before thou wert born – what love, what care, what service and what travail, there have been to bring thee forth and to preserve thee from such as would abuse and defile thee.
Oh that thou mayest be kept from the evil that would overwhelm thee; that faithful to the God of thy mercies, in the life of righteousness, thou mayest be preserved to the end.
My soul prays to God for thee that thou mayest stand in the day of trial, that thy children may be blest and thy people saved by His power.”

“The work ahead of us is to make voting accessible to all American voters, and to make sure every vote is counted through a free, fair, and transparent process,” Harris said in the statement. “This is the work of democracy.”…. June 1, 2021
Apparently she left out “but depends”.
Make them eat these words till they choke!
What they did is already transparent. Free and fair, not so much.
… make sure every vote is counted …
You’d want ALL your votes to be counted, that’s only fair. Voting suppression is most frustrating when you’ve put in multiple ballots.
The US is not a democracy. It’s a republic. It’s not mob rule, it’s rule of law. The law is that state legislatures define the process of appointing electors. Not judges. Not administrators.
Judges and administrators staged processes which have the appearance of elections but are nothing but a pack of crimes. The criminals must be prosecuted to the fullest.
Sometimes I think the intelligence apparatus which controls our government now are just using their lawless and corrupt actions from (Election Fraud to Black Lies Riots) as an experiment to see if the people are really willing to fight back for their family and country.
BusinessInsider: A 7-point-plan to reinstate Donald Trump as president ‘in days, not years’ was handed out at CPAC
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/a-7-point-plan-to-reinstate-donald-trump-as-president-in-days-not-years-was-handed-out-at-cpac/ar-AALZZQ2
Well, it’s an interesting idea. And hey! If the conmunist demoncrats could have done so they would have.
So. Let’s roll with it.
All President Trump needs to do is run for Congressional Representative for the district he lives in and win.
Then get the House to vote him speaker. And then let the fun begin.
Don’t bother with the impeachment crap. Just hamstring the Biden administration with endless investigations.
But make them public and transparent. No closed door, in the basement cellar, star room investigations
All open to the public and televised on CSPAN.
And let the chips fall where they may.
I am all in for that one. And the number of Uniparty defections, “accidents” and “suicides” would be epic.
FYI – if men sit on hands, there is nothing saying Biden cant say ELECTIONS A DISCONTINUED forever.
If I recall correctly, the speaker of the house, doesn’t have to be a member of Congress.
correct
Speaker of the House does NOT have to be an elected member of Congress. Speaker can be any citizen chosen by House members .
too many people are so occupied with their comments they cannot be bothered to review the founding documents from time to time…Dimms’ push to eliminate civics from the American public are working
President Trump has already stated that he wouldn’t follow this plan.
The illustration is too perfect- a depiction of the battle that is playing out in this country between good and evil.
It is indeed of mythological dimensions.
Senator Mastriano,
You are in office in Pennsylvania for such a time as this.
I pray Psalm 91 over you and ask you to heed Isaiah 42:31:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be
weary; and they shall walk and not faint.
Amen
Amen
Democrats control all of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia! Black inner city Democrats have been fraudulently counting ballots “for decades”! They aren’t used/don’t like being challenged! As Thomas Sowell says ““When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.” They are used to getting “preferential treatment” to rig elections and to question them now is racism! Godspeed Doug Mastriano!
Everyone knows Philly is massively corrupt, even the most hardened Democrats will admit they know it
I thought Cook County Illinois (Chicago) was supposed to be the king of corruption followed by the whole of New Jersey. My guess is that wherever leftists have ruled without check is corrupt beyond imagination. And through it all, until now, they have never been meaningfully challenged over it. Certainly, it was never a priority for the GOPe and still isn’t. It is angry conservative voters lighting fires under the rear ends of local Republicans that seems to be driving this.
Finding the most corrupt county is just as hard as finding the most corrupt Congress critter, or the one with the least grasp on reality.
Audits–financial, performance, etc.–are a normal part of operations for businesses, non-profit organizations, and government. Yet somehow auditing elections seems foreign.
An event as important as an election should be able to be audited easily, and if it cannot, there is something wrong.
very good!
Mastriano has a winning hand. If there’s no corruption, Democrats should enthusiastically embrace an audit that would shut those stupid Trumper’s up.
The courts don’t interfere in investigations and oversight by the Legislature doing its Constitutional duty. Besides, the PA Senate can issue subpoenas without a judge, and the PA Supreme Court can’t block Legislative subpoenas regarding pending legislation before the PA General Assembly.
The two Red counties (Tioga, York) probably comply willingly since I think they went for Trump. That leaves Philly – the well-known center of the fraudulent election results – as the outlier looking like the partisans they are.
The not-as-discussed element of the fraud, I think, was stealing Trump votes in Red districts. If he wins by 13% instead of 18%, most people would shrug it off…but that 5% here, 3% there, adds up fast. Mastriano is smart to look at Red districts, not just Philly.
He’s also an outstanding communicator. Biden going to Philly is the perfect opportunity for Mastriano to point out that Biden didn’t go to Harrisburg. He went to the scene of the crime, instead.
Apparently the SOS and AG believe there can never be an audit of any election. They are about to find out their belief is unfounded.
I like how they say if the machine hard drive is copied, the machines cannot be certified for the next election. Now once people know what the machines do, that is probably true, but that isn’t how they are spinning it.
Auditability is touted by machine vendors. Yet when it comes time to do an audit all hell breaks loose.
Sorry, but what is a backup disk. NOT JUMPING on you John17milw.
Certification requires that the Software is the same across all machines.
In a prior life, before running any Qualification Testing. All the SW on the system was categorised, a backup of the software was made, The system was disconnected from the internal internet, and sealed.
Any break in testing, required that all software on the system was checked.
Usually a size, timestamp directory listing.
The listing had to match up. Especially the executables. Log files were expected to be different.
At the end of testing, complete backup was made. Customer was given a copy of the Software before they left the building.
This fraud in Pennsylvania and other states that was certified on January 6 was an insurrection worse than Pearl Harbor, the Civil War, and 9/11 combined. May God bless the efforts of those who are exposing it, and open the eyes of the nation and the world to renounce and conquer it.
Amen
Strassentheater is a German word which on the surface means “street theater,” but means much more than a performance of a playlet or skit in the open air.
It is also the term used for left-wing, Communist antics designed to stir up people or to enact a Communist agenda of propaganda and lies.
Is this demand for an audit a possible RINO/DEM plot for a “Strassentheater” performance?
Pennsylvania RINOS act like Conservatives and demand an audit!
DEMS act as if the RINOS are wanting to commit fraud against an honest election and pound their chests in protest!
The audit goes through….and…
…the “audit” proves that the DEMS were right! The election was honest and The Manchurian Marionette and Company are legitimate!
Because the audit itself was a scam to begin with!
I hope this is not the case: I do not know how many RINOS are in the Pennsylvania legislature. But given the corruption around us, I trust very few politicians to be honest.
Genau!
Very possible.
My suspicious of this are compounded by the refusal to hold administrators and judges to account. Their crimes are public record. Ignoring this low hanging fruit while directing attention to protracted audits… is suspicious.
The two biggest problems we got are more money than brains (that’s from the government Printing Money) and immature vindictive people holding positions of vast responsibility. Copy&Paste this letter and send it to your Representatives.
Dear Representative,
I’m writing to notify you that it is becoming very evident that we need laws protecting us from prosecutors that abuse their office for political purposes. This has been ignored and now is a brazen abuse of power in the most odious, obvious, and incorrigible sense.
Now this is what happens when you let people that have never been held accountable run wild. And it will not stop till this despicable double-standard is removed or at least adjusted. These people have been allowed to go completely above the law and now we have a real problem (and they have a problem too, they’re sick in the head).
You know the old Mosaic Law had it that if you falsely accused someone, then you paid the price of the crime that you were accusing them of. I fail to see why that doesn’t apply to prosecutors as well.
Very concerned citizen,
What happens if Philly refuses to hand over ballots and equipment even after ordered by courts? I could see them burning the ballots and equipment. I know Philly very well! Eagle fans are ruthless no matter what side of the political aisle.
See my comment above.
Truly you have described another possibility: “accidents” will happen and no audit can be done at all.
Status quo of The Manchurian Marionette will therefore continue: those who cry fraud will be prosecuted for inciting a riot or for WrongThink or whatever the DEMS push through to imprison the opposition: rf. Michigan’s Attorney General..
What a f’in disgrace in a state that was so important in the founding of our country. Get out of America, Democommunists, you don’t belong here.
Dems use blacks and unions to do the dirty.
I love his preattacking looking grin throughout.
This is also going on the PA this week.

Op-Ed: Why I am initiating a forensic investigation of the 2020 General Election and 2021 Primary
https://senatormastriano.com/2021/07/07/op-ed-why-i-am-initiating-a-forensic-investigation-of-the-2020-general-election-and-2021-primary/
Posted on Jul 07, 2021
A forensic investigation of our election results and processes for the 2020 General Election and the 2021 Primary will go a long way to restore trust in our system. Voting is the fundamental right of all citizens. We should continually look for ways to improve the voting process to ensure every voice is heard.
Today, as Chair of the Intergovernmental Operations Committee, I issued letters to several counties requesting information and materials needed to conduct a forensic investigation of the 2020 General Election and the 2021 Primary.
We have asked these counties to respond by July 31st with a plan to comply. The counties represent different geographical regions of Pennsylvania and differing political makeups. Some are Republican while others are Democrat, which means that this will be a balanced investigation.
The Intergovernmental Operations Committee is a standing committee of the Pennsylvania State Senate with oversight and investigatory responsibilities regarding activities relating to or conducted between two or more governments or levels of government, including the administration of elections across the Commonwealth. As set forth in Pennsylvania Senate Rule 14 (d), each standing committee is empowered with the authority to inspect and investigate the books, records, papers, documents, data, operation, and physical plant of any public agency in this Commonwealth, including county boards of elections.
This is necessary as millions of Pennsylvanians have serious doubts about the accuracy of the 2020 General Election. A January poll from Muhlenberg University showed that 40% of Pennsylvania voters are not confident that the results of the 2020 Election accurately reflected how Pennsylvanians voted. Discounting or mocking their concerns is neither an answer nor proper in this constitutional republic.
During debate on election reform a couple weeks ago, some of my colleagues regrettably dismissed these poll numbers as an inconvenient truth and went on to assert that the only reason there is distrust in our election process was because of the “conspiracy theories and lies” from those they disagree with politically. This sort of ad hominen attack does nothing to address the concerns of millions of voters.
The case for a forensic investigation of the 2020 general election is evident to any unbiased observer.
This was the first election in Pennsylvania with “mass” mail-in voting. In 2020, there were 2.7 million ballots cast by mail and absentee compared to about 263,000 absentee ballots cast in 2016. Many of these ballots were counted at offsite locations with little outside observation or oversight. Furthermore, mail ballots without signature verification were permitted to be counted across the Commonwealth. And, of course, all of this transpired in the midst of Covid-19 where uncertainty and fear impacted the conduct of the election.
Additionally, in the weeks leading up to the election, the Department of State repeatedly altered the manner in which Pennsylvania’s election was conducted. Those who voted in person were held to a higher standard than those who mailed in their ballots. Signatures required for mail-in ballots were rendered meaningless as the PA Supreme Court ruled that ballots could not be rejected based on an analysis of the voter’s signature.
On September 17th, the PA Supreme Court ruled that counties had to count ballots received up to three days after Election Day. A week before the election, the Department of State told the U.S. Supreme Court that ballots received after 8 p.m. on November 3rd would be segregated. But the department changed the rules two days before the election and directed counties to canvass those ballots upon receipt. The U.S. Supreme Court had to step in and order the counties to segregate the ballots.
Just hours before the polls opened on November 3, the department changed the rules again by providing late guidance on how to help voters whose mail-in or absentee ballots were incorrectly completed. The “guidance” resulted in inconsistent application across the Commonwealth. Some counties contacted voters as directed while others did not. There was no basis for that guidance in current or case law.
It would defy logic to assume that an election with the kinds of drastic changes we saw in 2020 was run perfectly with zero errors or fraud.
Governor Wolf and the Secretary of State refused to conduct any type of thorough investigation despite the concerns of millions of our citizens in the aftermath of the election and hundreds of affidavits alleging firsthand fraud, irregularities, and illegal behavior witnessed at polling places.
The closest thing to an investigation we got was a small so called “risk-limiting” audit which consisted of a sample of only 45,000 randomly selected ballots from the November Election. Not nearly the type of investigation that was needed to determine any fraud, misconduct, or technical anomalies. This audit was conducted by the Department of State and did not include public input or outside observers.
Election process problems were not limited to 2020. During the May Primary, multiple poll locations ran out of their supply of ballots. This occurred even though counties are required to print at least 10% more ballots than the highest number of votes cast in any of the previous three municipal primary elections. In some precincts, voting machines improperly labeled the headers of Republican ballots as Democrat while the GOP races still appeared. In one county, a “printing issue” caused both Democratic and Republican ballots to be rejected. These errors occurred in a lower-turnout election, where mistakes should be least likely to occur.
A full forensic investigation is critically necessary for our Commonwealth for the sake of transparency and accountability. There is nothing to fear if there is nothing to hide. Those who have concerns about the integrity of the 2020 and 2021 election will have those concerns investigated and hopefully addressed. Those who think that there was zero voter fraud, no irregularities, and that the elections were conducted perfectly will have the chance to be vindicated.
This investigation is not about overturning the results of either election. The goals are to restore faith in the integrity of our system, confirm the effectiveness of existing legislation on the governance of elections, and identify areas for legislative reform.
In light of the governor’s recent veto of a comprehensive election reform bill (HB 1300) and the refusal of his administration to seriously address the concerns of millions of our citizens, it is incumbent for the legislature to exercise its oversight responsibility.
The damage to our election process will not be undone with the passing of time. I believe the only way to restore confidence in our Commonwealth’s election process is to undertake a forensic investigation. By doing this, faith in our election system will be restored.
The people of our Commonwealth should have confidence that their vote counts. It takes accountability and transparency to ensure that our elections are free and fair.
… looks like he’s wearing a Airborne pin isn’t it?!
What a hero. To recap one of the most impressive resumes we have 1) Col in real non woke military, 2) State Senator 3) Dr. (PhD in REAL subjects, History and MA and BA in various tactics and strategy not “how to racially bias Community Colleges in a non subject like education” with a thesis that can’t do basic math OR studies in segregation, unethical government lifer thievery and plagiarism like Dementia Joe) AND 4) Chairman.
Highly credentialled a$$ kicker extraordinaire, Col Doug Mastriano is on the case!
Al Shakedown not only cut deals as a fed informant, extorts companies with the “permission slips” Stormy’s creepy porn lawyer forgot to get, and regularly causes violence against his enemies but in between pimp perms and stomach stapling he’s also stood between minorities and real government ever since real leaders like MLK got “taken out” for his benefit.
Ever since all the great black leaders and even a bunch of questionable Kennedys got assassinated this is all minorities have had.
Democrat criminals grinding every city into the ground.
Where the h3ll is Jimmy Carter? I want that mofo on record for if our elections are corruption free or not so the world will know if he should be monitoring elections worldwide.
The party of Tammany Hall and Chicago mob stuffers has the nerve to expand their operations nationwide. Of COURSE this is going worldwide as well.
Mastriano your character has been shining through daily!
He’s been such a bright spot in a sea of turid, polluted water.
This is for every American AND frankly democracies worldwide which are often devolving into 3rd world stuffing operations like us now.
We need you sir! We know you won’t let us down and we are forever grateful.
What a well organized and delivered statement.
Obviously all the judges are bought and paid for so do the Consitutional duty and make sure voters of all colors have our rights. Beautiful statement, sir.
It is not fair for corrupt Shakedown artists and paid mobs to collude with other Dems to steal everyone’s vote AND I might add actually focus on minority areas for the worst of it. Civil rights violations galore.
Once RINO free (or third party if need be) this IS the party of equality, fairness and opportunity for all. No scapegoating whites. No ballot stuffing minorities. Plus, in some cases where one chooses, God. And I find it extra cool he seems unPencelike about his religion. I keep getting the impression it’s real for him, unlike the rest of these bribed Judases.
Nobody is perfect and no one expects that, but so far he’s coming off like a genuine leader.
Don’t back down sir, we have had enough Kemps and clowns.
Past time for the tree/rope solution.
What we need to see happen in Pennsylvania;
> Audit the vote
> Expose the massive fraud
> De-certify PA electoral votes
> Ring the Liberty Bell
Also said in Philadelphia :
” A REPUBLIC …..ma’am , if you can keep it .”
The harder they fight the more people they convince that fraud occurred.
Only the guilty argue. Innocent people may protect their rights but they don’t argue. There is a difference.
I so hope Mr. Mastriano knows he is going to need security, protection for him and his entire family.
I actually fear for his life.
I’ll only believe Mastriano when people start getting arrested and tossed in jail. Until then its just like every other Soy Sauce Republican- talk talk talk.
This was Barack Hussein Alinsky’s first public foray into the 2020 campaign….to meet with “Community Organizers” in Philadelphia – the epicenter of the stolen election.
Note the dates – ESPECIALLY THE MOTHER OF ALL FREUDIAN SLIPS BY BIDEN – this was NOT a coincidence.

“We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this. We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics”

Why don’t Tucker, Laura, Hannity, Bream play this video?
Dementia often causes folks to speak secrets out loud.
Take note:
The order (above) does NOT prohibit access to the physical paper ballots.
Does this mean those ballots have already been destroyed, or forged in a manner that Dems believe will withstand close scrutiny?
I’m ALL FOR having Cyber Ninjas come to PA!
It has been plainly obvious over the last 6 years that the corrupt democrats don’t care about the law unless they are using it to persecute President Trump or his supporters.
Absolutely disgusting.
The Navarro Report has more than 45 references to election fraud in Pennsylvania. The report states that at midnight on the evening of November 3, President Trump was leading by more than a half million votes in Pennsylvania. But by December 15th, Biden was reportedly ahead by 81,660.
One of the most disturbing examples of possible fake ballot manufacturing involves a truck driver who has alleged in a sworn affidavit that he picked up large crates of ballots in New York and delivered them to a polling location in Pennsylvania. Likewise in Pennsylvania, there is both a Declaration and a photo that suggests a poll worker used an unsecured USB flash drive to dump an unusually large cache of votes onto vote tabulation machines. The resultant tabulations did not correlate with the mail-in ballots scanned into the machines.
In Pennsylvania, an equally brazen Democrat Secretary of State issued illegal guidance for the acceptance of naked ballots and ignored direction from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to fix the matter. She allowed ballots to be illegally cured in contravention of state law and pushed the legal envelope for accepting ballots after Election Day.
Figure Six tabulates by category a total of almost a million potentially illegal votes in Pennsylvania. This is roughly twelve times the alleged Biden victory margin of 81,660 votes.
By far the largest category of potentially illegal ballots – over 680,000 – is associated with poll observer abuses. Certified Republican poll observers were kept at distances the length of a football field. They were prevented from accessing back rooms where tens of thousands of ballots were being processed, and they were rounded up into restricted areas when trying to fulfill their legal duty to observe the ballot counting process. 35 Without meaningful observation of the ballot counting process, it is impossible to verify the legality of absentee and mail-in ballots.
State Representative Frank Ryan, along with several other members of the State Legislature, found that over 202,000 more ballots were cast than actual registered voters in the state. In addition, there were 58,221 absentee ballots counted that were returned on or before the postmarked date on the envelope. 9,005 additional ballots were counted without a postmark on the envelope, in clear violation of state election law. There were also over 14,300 absentee ballots cast from addresses in which registered voters did not legally reside, over 7,400 registered voters from other states 40 that successfully cast ballots in the state of Pennsylvania, over 8,000 likely dead voters.

Let’s hope this holds water but I still question the wisdom of “announcing” the intent to subpoena vs just simply issuing the subpoenas.
I also question why now? There’s been no change of committee or individuals associated with the required processes to undertake a audit.
We’ve known about the mountians of issues since November, a little explanation of the delay vs the typical political deflection and BS would be nice.
It’s hard to decide who is fighting transparency more: the CCP regarding Covid origins, or the Dems regarding election fraud. The whole world can see the cover-up efforts, and most will come to the same conclusions: cheaters lie and hide.
If 2020 was the cleanest election ever, EVER, as the Democrats tell us then they should welcome a forensic audit to prove their case and embarrass Trump and those of us who believe there was widespread fraud and irregularities.
