While 147 members of Congress voted to throw out the Presidential Elections in Arizona and Pennsylvania (I still can’t believe this happened), 11 of them voted against the Presidential elections in THEIR OWN STATES.

They voted to disenfranchise their own states’ voters.
These members:

Arizona House members who voted to throw out the Presidential election in Arizona:

Paul Gosar (AZ-04)
Andy Biggs (AZ-05)
Debbie Lesko (AZ-08)
Pennsylvania House members who voted to throw out the Presidential election in Pennsylvania:

Daniel Meuser (PA-09)
Scott Perry (PA-10)
Lloyd Smucker (PA-11)
Fred Keller (PA-12)
John Joyce (PA-13)
Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14)
Glenn Thompson (PA-15)
Mike Kelly (PA-16)
Note that none of these guys (or the others who pledged to object to their own state’s Presidential election results but didn’t get to vote on it because no Senator joined in the objections to other states) challenged their OWN elections. Just the Presidential election.
The Congressional elections that allowed them to be in Congress on January 6 so they could challenge the Presidential election results were conducted on the SAME BALLOTS. Run through the SAME MACHINES. Recounted and quality checked by the SAME ELECTION WORKERS.
And certified by the SAME ELECTIONS OFFICIALS.

But somehow they claimed explicitly that the Presidential election results were suspect. But implicitly, by sitting there that day, simultaneously claiming that their own elections were somehow just fine.

Stank hypocrisy.
Next time any of these people seek higher office and claim to have the best interests of their state’s people in mind, they need to be reminded that they’re on record of being AGAINST the voters of their state. They tried to throw out the votes of their own neighbors.
