Republicans Announce MAJOR Move That Would Give Trump PA’s EC Votes, Trump Lawsuit Heads To SCOTUS. Doug Mastriano, PA State Senator, announced on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast that republicans would file a joint resolution to take back the power to appoint electors. This seems likely to be blocked by the governor but could find its way to the Supreme court giving PA a win as SCOTUS has already ruled the power to appoint electors rests in the legislature. Democrats meanwhile are gloating that Trump lost another appeal ignoring that Trump is now celebrating that they will be moving their suit to appeal to the supreme court.
