Will Pennsylvania State Senator
vowing to take his legal fight
over the election results all
the way to the Supreme Court? He,
along with members of the
statehouse and Senate filing a
resolution to appoint the
states twenty electors themselves
here is Pennsylvania State
Senator Doug Mastriano
thanks for being with us
indulge me a moment.
I want to maximize my
understanding where we are
talk about process and timing
and then get to evidence towards
the back end.
First, I understand tomorrow is
the final day of the
Pennsylvania State Legislature
meeting.
Do you have the support that you
need to replace electors with
those who would appoint or
apportion the states votes to
Donald Trump? Any think you made
clear. That is the goal with the
resolution.
Do you have the political
support to do so?
Yes,
the hardest part right now, as
you rightly said, is timing.
We have one day before our
current session expires,
so things need to happen to make
sure we actually have more time.
It is just no time to get the
next body of senators and
representatives seated before
January,
and so it is an odd time.
I dont know why this rule is in
place here, but we need to get
ourselves seated here.
There is good thing: there are
more republican senators and
more republican House members
won the election on down ballot
on lead up to the show.
That is the challenge as far as
getting a new group in quickly
will lets fall back if we can
for a moment on what the United
States States constitution
allows.
Here is what is says how
electors are appointed.
Each state shall appoint in such
a manner, as the legislature
thereof may direct a number of
electors equal to the whole
number of senators and
representatives to which the
state may be entitled in the
Congress, but no senator or
representative or person holding
an office or trust or profit
under the United States shall be
appointed an elector
in essence, what it is saying,
state, legislatures, appointee,
electors,
youre running out of time.
Where do you stand in terms of
persuasion and support? Doing
what you want to do?
I will focus on my Senate
version of the resolution,
because there is some difference
between me and house.
Eight of us are signed up
cosponsors.
That is a good start
that normally takes time
these times that try our souls
there is no time
were following back on the eighteen. Ninety two
precedent: Mcpherson
inaudible Bush versus Gore. We
remember as well,
hopefully give my colleagues a
little more strength and courage
to move forward
in nineteen. Ninety four there was state election
outside of Philly, so corrupted
the Democrat senator was thrown
out of office. The republican
loser was put in by judge
newcomer. There was so much
evidence and shenanigans.
We have our actions on the
legislative side.
What were trying to do in the
House and Senate in
Pennsylvania.
On the other side, the Trump team
will have to ask a precedent
court. Looking at evidence, we
have, we looked at it at my
hearing. Yes, there is systemic
systemic cheating, oar fraud.
Therefore, elements of the
election will be corrupted.
Will unfortunately, a hard
break
well run out of time. This is
important issue
talk about this much more.
If you could, what is the most
compelling piece of evidence?
Youre put towing your fellow
state legislators to persuade
them to switch your votes
er. The hearing in Gettysburg
was eye opening
first time for a public hearing.
My point was: what happened?
Eyewitnesses come up one of the
most compelling the data analyst
looked at six hundred thousand ballots came
in all, except, I believe three or
four thousand went to zero point. Zero two percent went to
Trump.
That is statistical anomalies
like that raise the eyebrows.
Will I apologize?
I apologize cut you off
im running up against the hard
break
that statistical analysis. I read
about that. We need to dig more
into that.
We hope to do that on
Fox AMP friends.
Explain as much as we could in
the limited amount of time.
