Republicans Conspires To Commit Election Fraud In Pennsylvania

Republicans have reportedly provided evidence of conspiration to commit an election fraud in the Pennsylvania area of United States of America.

Trump was said to have been arguing that there was widespread voter fraud, but without providing any evidence.

The Daily Beast reported late Thursday evening that “Hours before President Donald Trump went on national television Thursday to declare the inherent illegitimacy of ballots received after Nov. 3, local Republican officials recruited volunteers to call Pennsylvania voters and urge them to get their ballots in by Friday—three days after Election Day.

“The request, election lawyers say, appears to flagrantly run afoul of state law. Under Pennsylvania law and a recent state Supreme Court decision, absentee and mail-in ballots are valid as long as they were postmarked by Election Day and received by Nov. 6. Any Trump supporter who sends in their ballots either Thursday or Friday would not have it postmarked within the acceptable deadline—creating the precise situation that the president himself has deemed fraudulent and corrupt.

“The email, which was sent by the group Kenosha For Trump and forwarded to The Daily Beast, said it was marshaling the effort on behalf of Trump Victory, the committee established by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee to run the field program for the president’s re-election.”

The Beast interviewed Jonathan Diaz, the chief counsel for the Campaign Legal Center.

“This seems like encouraging people to improperly submit ballots that should not be counted,”

Diaz noted. “That would be exactly what the president and his campaign are accusing Democrats of doing.”

Attorney Ben Geffen of the Public Interest Law Center in Philadelphia wondered if there might be a darker motivation.

“I wonder if they’re doing this in hopes of slipping one through and then waving it around as an example of the flawed process,” Geffen said. “The real story is, it sounds like the Trump campaign is promoting cheating.”
