Let’s be absolutely clear about this, as reported by BillyPenn.com:
Joshua Lorenz a Republican councilman in Murrysville, part of Westmoreland County in southwest PA. He is a member of the state bar, working for the Meyer Unkovic Scott law firm in Pittsburgh.
And the “proof” he tweeted is absolute bullshit designed to deceive voters.
Big problem here: Pennsylvanians can’t vote online. For that matter, neither can voters in any state. Lorenz did not respond to a request for comment from Billy Penn.
It is illegal for elected officials to knowingly share misinformation when it comes to elections
And he’s not alone. This image was being spread on Facebook, starting in the comments to a Katie McGinty ad:
I don’t know how to say this more plainly: the only people trying to rig the election in Pennsylvania are the folks who are trying to deceive or intimidate voters. As Philadelphia elections official Al Schmidt, a Republican, said yesterday:
"The real threat to the integrity of elections in Philadelphia isn't voter fraud, though it does rarely occur," said Al Schmidt, vice chairman of the city commissioners and the three-member board's lone Republican.
"And it isn't even Russian hackers, though they may certainly exist. The real threat to the integrity of elections is irresponsible accusations that undermine confidence in the electoral process."
… "I don't think there is any added amount of integrity to the process that can be brought by some knucklehead from Altoona coming to Philadelphia on Election Day," he said.
