1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania. Republicans hold the majority in that state legislature. On Tuesday,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: they prevented Democrats state Senator Jim Brewster from being seated

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: for the new term. The issue was mail in ballots.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Mr Brewster, the Democrat, defeated his Republican opponent, by just

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: sixty seven votes, but three hundred eleven mail in ballots

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: were counted even though they were not dated. That's a

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: violation of the state's election law. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court,

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: run by liberal Democrats, ignored the law. Surprise, they said

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: these ballots could be counted. So Republicans took the case

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: to federal court, where it is still pending. Meanwhile, Democrat

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman tried to seat Mr Brewer. Republicans

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: and what the media calls an unusual move, said no way.

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: They voted to remove the Lieutenant governor as the presiding

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: officer of the proceedings and then refused to seat Mr

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Brewster until further review. Now, of course, the Democrats went ballistic.

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania's Democrat hacked Governor Tom wolf accused Republicans of subverting

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats process. Democrats, is that all of you know

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: by now? Believe they are entitled to bend the law

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: or to break it, or to stomp on it or

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: ignore it whenever their powers at stake and anybody gets

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: in their way is subversive. Thankfully, it seems Pennsylvania Republicans

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: have had enough and they actually want their election laws followed.

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: It's a novel concept. Will keep track here
