A spokesperson for the state House Republican conference panned a local lawmaker's call to empower the Legislature to seat presidential electors instead of state Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a move that would likely hand Pennsylvania to President Donald Trump.
Appearing Friday on "Steve Bannon's War Room," a podcast hosted by Trump's former political adviser, state Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Adams, renewed calls for the Legislature to seat electors friendly to Trump, rather than to Democrat Joe Biden, who won Pennsylvania by more than 80,000 votes.
"We're going to take our power back; we're going to seat the electors," Mastriano said. "Now, obviously, we're going to need the support of the leaders of the House and Senate."
The move was appropriate, he said without evidence, because Boockvar and other Democrats "cheated."
