Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano insisted that due to the “mounting evidence” his state’s election was “compromised,” Article II, Section 1.2 of the Constitution mandates that the state legislature has the “sole authority to direct the manner of selecting delegates to the Electoral College.”
Mastriano took to Twitter on November 28th to outline the constitutionally sound procedure.
He noted, “this power was given to the state legislature for the purpose of safeguarding the appointment of our President, specifically contemplating corruption and ensuring that the people are not disenfranchised through a corrupt election process.”
As a result, Mastriano is introducing a “Resolution to exercise our obligation and authority to appoint delegates to the Electoral College.”
