A little over a week ago, Pennsylvania State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta gave an impassioned speech before the State House in opposition to a bill introduced by Republican State Rep. Garth D. Everett. Here’s the video:
The bill would have created an “election integrity committee” which would have given the Republican controlled house the authority to review and investigate 2020 election while the election was in progress. When questioned, Everett did not deny the bill would give Republicans the power to subpoena poll workers and pull them from polling sites on election day. Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta played a huge roll in preventing voter suppression by helping delay the passage of this terrible bill since today Rep. Everett pulled the bill from the floor. If the bill had passed, other Republican led State Legislators were set to follow suit with similar bills, creating untold chaos and disruption of the voting process. Malcolm Kenyatta’s efforts helped to keep that from happening. One more heroic act to preserve our voting rights.
