Letter to the editor: Grading 'facts' on the election

Let’s “grade” some facts. Grade A facts have official records; a Grade B fact is someone’s interpretation of a Grade A fact which can be questioned.

Grade A facts:

• A sworn affidavit is a written statement signed under penalty of perjury.

• Hundreds of sworn affidavits were given by citizens claiming to have witnessed “irregularities” and/or fraud in Nov. 3 election.

• Since the election, Democrats and the media have been squawking parrotlike that all claims of fraud are “baseless,” yet I can find no mention that anyone who swore an affidavit has been charged with perjury.

• During election week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order to former Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar because it determined that her compliance with another order — to “segregate late arriving ballots and not to pre-canvass (count them)” — was “not satisfactory.” The court added, “the Secretary has purported to direct county boards to count ballots that the General Assembly has directed are invalid and should not be counted.” “If county elections boards count and do not segregate late arriving ballots, it could become impossible for this Court to repair election results tainted by illegally and untimely cast or mailed ballots.”

• An analysis by Pennsylvania lawmakers found “(a) difference of 202,377 more votes cast (in Pennsylvania) than voters voting.” Boockvar’s office dismissed the analysis as “misinformation.”

Grade B fact:

• A U.S. Postal Service driver signed a sworn affidavit claiming that he left “130,000-280,000 filled out ballots” from New York in a Pennsylvania parking lot.
