The New York Times today ran a long article about Republican office holders who held firm against White House pressure to mess with the election results. They ranged from a clerk in the Michigan city of Rochester Hills to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger who defended his state’s election process. In Maricopa County, Arizona, the Republican chair of the county Board of Supervisors pushed back against claims of fraud. Michigan Republican legislators met with Trump, and then refused to knuckle under to his demands. In Pennsylvania a Trump appointee to the Federal Court dismissed Trump’s legal briefs.
I looked through the article for an example of Pennsylvania Republican legislators speaking out in defense of our electoral system. Strangely, I found none.
