Letter: Stop Republican assault on bedrock of democracy

Editor:
Since 1988, Republicans have won the popular vote for president one time. So they claim voting is rigged, and millions take the bait. Multitudes repeating a lie for months doesn’t make it become true. There is still not a shred of legitimate evidence.

In 2000, with a 537-vote lead in Florida, Republicans tried everything to prevent a recount. They pulled the Brooks Brothers riot, then got the Supreme Court to stop it. Now, in a complete flip-flop, Pennsylvania Senate Republicans, 10 months after the election, are starting an audit of all votes, with an 81,660 vote losing margin.

Do taxpayers realize we’re paying millions for this? Plus any voting machines handled by unlicensed people must be replaced, and Berks County just bought new machines. Sidney Powell’s organization is involved. She’s being sued for $1.3 billion for lies about fraud and was sanctioned by a judge for “reckless disregard for the truth.”

Sen. Cris Dush’s committee wants the name, birth date, address, driver’s license number, and last four digits of Social Security number of every registered voter in Pennsylvania. And how they went about voting. That’s beyond outrageous.

On Nov. 2, we must elect judges who will put a halt to this abominable assault on the bedrock of democracy. Vote for Maria McLaughlin for Supreme Court, Timika Lane for Superior Court, and both Lori Dumas and David Spurgeon for Commonwealth Court.
