Pennsylvania officials were working to steal the election from President Donald Trump even before the ballots started coming in, let alone being counted, according to Rep. Guy Reschenthaler on Newsmax TV.
"Number one, you have the fact that you have the attorney general of Pennsylvania saying before the election, before the votes were even counted, yesterday he said that by the time all the votes are counted, Joe Biden will be our next president or Joe Biden will win Pennsylvania," the Pennsylvania Republican told Newsmax TV's "Stinchfield" Wednesday.
Reschenthaler said he's also concerned because the Pennsylvania Supreme Court "unilaterally rewrote our election law to allow ballots to get collected without postage marks, without signature verification, not even requiring a stamp."
Ballots can be collected through Friday, leaving a 72-hour window and creating a "recipe for fraud," he added.
"We have to make sure that those ballots are segregated and not commingled with the ballots that came in on time," said Reschenthaler.
Republicans are calling for Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar to resign, host Grant Stinchfield pointed out.
Reschenthaler further commented that he still believes that Pennsylvania will end up in a court dispute, but he thinks Trump will win outright in the state.
The challenge will likely go to the U.S. Supreme Court "because the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is overstaffed and because the administration is doing everything they can to make sure that Joe Biden gets the numbers that he needs through the counting of these ballots that are coming in after the polls closed."
The congressman also said he thinks Trump will pull out a win in Arizona because it was called too early for Biden, and that wins in North Carolina and Georgia will also give Trump a pathway to win.
"The mainstream media was too fast to declare this race for Joe Biden," said Reschenthaler. "Given the unrest we've had all summer, this is setting up civil unrest, violent protests, and looting, and the people that are to be blamed are the media who set up a false narrative that Joe Biden won this election. It will be Donald Trump who will get 270 [electoral votes]."
