Letter to the editor: Repercussions for Republicans' role in big lie

Pennsylvania was ground zero for accusations of rigged elections by President Trump and Republican, including Western Pennsylvania representatives Guy Reschenthaler, Mike Kelly and John Joyce. Multiple Pennsylvania investigations found a total of three confirmed cases of voter fraud, all for Trump.

With this information and 64 of 65 court cases finding no evidence of voter fraud, these representatives continued to stoke the big lie that the election was stolen. They participated in a campaign to overturn the will of nearly 7 million Pennsylvania voters. Even more alarming, Republican representatives in Pennsylvania months before the election met with the Trump campaign to plot how to assign the Pennsylvania electors to Trump even if he lost the popular vote. Where is the investigation by Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro to investigate this conspiracy?

Do these representatives have any remorse that many of their constituents were incited to go to Washington to overturn the results of a legitimate election and now may face serious federal charges that could include accessory to murder or sedition against our country? Never have we had so many representatives, including the vice president, in imminent danger of being killed or taken hostage. Have you heard any of these representatives admit they were wrong about the election?

I would also like to know why not one of them explained how they won with this rigged election. Whether or not they go on trial or face consequences for their participation in the greatest lie ever told by leaders of this country, they should voluntarily resign.
