Letter to the editor: Reschenthaler and Joyce are patriots

I felt compelled to respond to letters from Scott Huber claiming the presidential election was the “most secure election in modern history” (“Will Joyce and Reschenthaler need pardons?”) and Edward Svitek that Biden won “fairly and squarely” (“Does Trump love America?”) when the facts and statistics say otherwise.

Joe Biden underperformed Hillary Clinton in every major city except four, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee — which coincidently happen to be in swing states that decided the election. He also overwhelmingly lost to President Trump in virtually every bellwether county in the country, yet somehow managed to win.

Biden got more votes nationally than any candidate in history by winning a record low 17% of the counties nationwide, just 524 compared to 873 won by President Obama in 2012, yet Biden miraculously got 15 million more votes than Obama.

There were historically low rejections of absentee ballots despite massive expansion of mail voting. If rejection rates were similar to prior elections, Trump wins comfortably; incredibly, millions of voters used mail-in ballots for the first time and managed to follow the rules.

Apparently, hundreds of poll observers in numerous states who signed affidavits under oath attesting to witnessing voting irregularities were all lying, but it’s OK for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to ignore the Constitution and rewrite election laws that can only be changed by the Legislature.

I applaud congressmen like Guy Reschenthaler and John Joyce who are demanding a full investigation into the fraud that occurred in this election. They are true patriots.
