The action taken on Dec. 4, in the form of a letter from a group of Pennsylvania Republican legislators, emphasizes the destructive outcomes of gerrymandering and voter apathy towards state and local elections.  These legislators seek to overturn the Pennsylvania election results only for president (but not for their own offices) by having an alternative set of electors reject the will of the voters using specious arguments, many of which were already rejected by the judiciary.  Only one of the signatories is a representative of some of Lehigh County voters, Representative Ryan Mackenzie, who represents Lower Macungie, Macungie, Alburtis, parts of Salisbury Twp., and parts of South Whitehall.  Please read the letter (linked below) and contact Representative Mackenzie by whatever means you choose to express outrage at this blatant attempt to nullify your vote.

Use the image of this letter and its intent to energize yourself to engage and do everything possible for each and every year’s election to make the changes to better government. LETTER TO PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATORS IN THE US HOUSE AND SENATE

Note: In order to satisfy this request, at least one US House Representative and one US Senator from Pennsylvania would have to agree. Both Senators Bob Casey and Pat Toomey have refused.
