Kathy Barnette Claims 500 Foreigners Voted Illegally In Montco
In a video that she posted on Youtube, Saturday (November 28), Kathy Barnette, unsuccessful Republican Candidate for U.S. Congress in Pennsylvania’s Fourth Congressional District, said that “over 3,000 people participated in my election who were not on the voter rolls.” She continued, “we have already identified over a third of those people as having voted, and over half of that third being foreigners.”
Barnette also said that “In my election alone, we had dead people voting. Yes, we had several hundred dead people who voted and who have been identified as voting, just in my election alone.”
On Wednesday (November 25), when Liz Havey, Chair of the Montgomery County Republican Committee testified in Harrisburg, at “The Pennsylvania Senate Majority Policy Committee to Vet Election Issues,” , she alleged that only 188 dead people had voted in Montgomery County (and attributed that claim to Barnette). Apparently since then, the Montco Republicans have discovered even more dead voters, although they still haven’t released any of their names (perhaps to respect their privacy).
Barnette also attributed a raft of unfavorable judges’ decisions that have hampered Donald Trump’s ability to reverse the certifications of Joe Biden’s election in several states, including Pennsylvania, to “activist judges.” Among the activist judges to whom she refers, she presumably includes Judge Stephanos Bibas, who wrote in recent decision by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, “Voters, not lawyers, choose the President. Ballots, not briefs, decide elections. The ballots here are governed by Pennsylvania election law. No federal law requires poll watchers
or specifies where they must live or how close they may stand when votes are counted. Nor does federal law govern whether to count ballots with minor state-law defects or let voters cure those defects. Those are all issues of state law, not ones that we can hear. And earlier lawsuits have rejected those claims.”
“Activist Judge Bibas” is also a member of the Conservative Federalist Society.
