I thought PA ballots were illegal. How can the Rs be seated here or in DC? Oh, right, it was only the Biden votes on the EXACT SAME BALLOTS that were illegal. The Trump party and its fascist platform continues.
Take Toomey off the list for Governor of PA. He is not for Repuclicans!. Would never have won another term as Senator.
Ms. Flynn– Senator Toomey is a Republican and is for Republicans. He has proved that for more than a decade. If you want someone who is not a lifelong Republican, you should nominate the outgoing president of the United States.
His record is totally self-serving, and while many of his policies made sense, his behavior and frequent judgment lapses will have ranked him at the bottom of presidential rankings. His behavior since losing the election has been totally off the wall.

GOP are mostly all retrograde humans, so hard to see where any are qualified to hold any of the govt positions.
These guys aren’t qualified to run a lemonade stand.
And then there is you two geniuses.
On behalf of the general public, D and R – Punch eachother in the faces, please.
In Georgia, the election deniers were removed from their committee chairmanships.
Doug Mastriano should be removed from the PA senate, not given a chairmanship.
^^^
Mastriano is one of the good guys and he served his Country.
Betty,
If you believe he is one of the good guys, you are missing a screw. He has preyed on the base to perpetuate lies that he knows are dangerous. All so he could raise money and get an endorsement for Gov. He has openly admitted to other senators he knows the claim of fraud isn’t true.
Wake up.
