A group of Pennsylvania lawmakers Friday introduced a resolution disputing the 2020 General Election Statewide Contest Results. Locally, Republican State Rep. Bud Cook, who represents the 49th District, is one of the co-sponsors of the resolution.  He told WJPA NEWS that the members of the General Assembly issued the following statement: “A number of compromises of Pennsylvania’s election laws took place during the 2020 General Election.  The documented irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing has undermined our elector process and as a result we cannot accept certification of the results in statewide races.”  Cook said the members also added, “It is absolutely imperative that we take these steps if we are to ensure public trust in our electoral system. Faith in government begins with faith in the elections which select that government.”
