Eight Pa. House GOP members to oppose Biden’s electoral votes

By MARC LEVY Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Eight Republican members of Congress from Pennsylvania say they’ll oppose the state’s electoral votes being cast for President-elect Joe Biden. Those eight will join dozens of other Republicans around the country who President Donald Trump has enlisted to challenge the Electoral College vote when Congress convenes in a joint session Wednesday to confirm Biden’s 306-232 win. In statements last week, they complained about election-related policies of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration and decisions by the state Supreme Court, generally dealing how mail-in ballots were to be collected and counted. Their complaints, however, are based on outright falsehoods, say state officials, and ignores what courts have repeatedly said, say constitutional law scholars.
