Speaker 1: Pennsylvania. Republicans hold the majority in that state legislature. On Tuesday,
Speaker 1: they prevented Democrats state Senator Jim Brewster from being seated
Speaker 1: for the new term. The issue was mail in ballots.
Speaker 1: Mr Brewster, the Democrat, defeated his Republican opponent, by just
Speaker 1: sixty seven votes, but three hundred eleven mail in ballots
Speaker 1: were counted even though they were not dated. That's a
Speaker 1: violation of the state's election law. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: run by liberal Democrats, ignored the law. Surprise, they said
Speaker 1: these ballots could be counted. So Republicans took the case
Speaker 1: to federal court, where it is still pending. Meanwhile, Democrat
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman tried to seat Mr Brewer. Republicans
Speaker 1: and what the media calls an unusual move, said no way.
Speaker 1: They voted to remove the Lieutenant governor as the presiding
Speaker 1: officer of the proceedings and then refused to seat Mr
Speaker 1: Brewster until further review. Now, of course, the Democrats went ballistic.
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania's Democrat hacked Governor Tom wolf accused Republicans of subverting
Speaker 1: the Democrats process. Democrats, is that all of you know
Speaker 1: by now? Believe they are entitled to bend the law
Speaker 1: or to break it, or to stomp on it or
Speaker 1: ignore it whenever their powers at stake and anybody gets
Speaker 1: in their way is subversive. Thankfully, it seems Pennsylvania Republicans
Speaker 1: have had enough and they actually want their election laws followed.
Speaker 1: It's a novel concept. Will keep track here
