Pennsylvania played a key role in Donald Trump’s surprise victory in 2016. This year, I thought that, although Trump would lose the election, he would again carry Pennsylvania. It seemed to me that the riots in Philadelphia and Biden’s contradictory statements about fracking would see the president through in the Keystone State.
It didn’t work out that way. Why not?
One possible explanation is voter fraud. On this view, Trump didn’t really lose Pennsylvania, it was stolen from him.
But the vote count puts Biden ahead of Trump by more than 50,000 votes. Was there enough fraud to account for that gap? Maybe, but I haven’t seen evidence of it yet.

For the sake of arguement, let's assume that Trump lost Pennsylvania. Could the loss be attributed to 24/7/365 98% negative news coverage? The fact that Trump pulled off almost 72 million votes with everything that was thrown at his is astounding.
Trump didn't lose. The media, social media etc worked overtime for 4 plus years to drive him out of office. They've been patting themselves on their backs since Saturday.

Fraud is like cockroaches. There are one hundred of the little pest you don't see, for the one you do.
Just on that basis, any evidence that there was a concerted attempt to steal the election is sufficient reason to consider the consequences. You dont reward a cheater, even if they 'would have won, anyway'. You either punish them, or you have a do-over with fairer conditions.
You never NEVER let it stand.
If the various powers that be let it stand, they will have failed us. And we will deal out the punishment, ourselves. It won't be pretty.

Well, maybe it might be related to one vote dump batch of 138,000 votes. All for Biden and with no down ballot votes. You know the batch dumped in the middle of the night when counting ballots was suspended.

50,000 ballots too big a gap? Giuliani says at this point they have identified 650,000 unlawful ballots in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Trump did not lose Pa, and will be the president for the next 4 years. The left need to start accepting that, and adjust their misbehavior to reunite with America.

In direct violation of Article II the Governor and the State Court too it upon themselves to extend the voting beyond Nov 3. In 72 hours a million mail in and harvested Biden votes poured in. Do you need to look for more reasons?

Republican election observers appear not to have been allowed to observe so I believe there was a lot of fraud. Mail in ballots is also ripe for fraud! President Trump gets over 50 thousand at just one of his PA rallies and Joe gets too few to count. Something stinks in PA!

This article is ragtime. Total nonsense. You're a professional opiner and you haven't heard that Alito had em segregate the votes after 8? That's alot more than 50K.
Voter couldn't stomach him? I'm calling BS. That is not analysis; it is projection. Get lost.
Thank Almighty God in Heaven for President Donald Trump. I will never forget what he did for our country. Stomach that.

It’s been a whole week and I haven’t seen conclusive evidence yet. It’s not as if anybody is trying to hide anything. So I’m going to get my pipe and smoking jacket and puff and pontificate.

Evidently the author cannot believe his lying eyes. When ballots show up in the trunk of cars with just Biden-Harris selected and nothing else is marked, Gibbs' rule 39 applies. And the author still can't figure out that the Shadows of Richard Daley are involved in PA. And the author is ignoring MI WI GA NV and AZ as well. Can't tell if the author is a RINO or is just plain dense or both. My guess is both.

because the demcommies conjured up about 200,000 illegal votes, that's why.

Why you ask? Because Wolf, the PA AG, and Democratic Party swamp rats said “ we can’t let this happen again - Trump will not win.

Biden/Heels-up had had the best voter FRAUD operation in history. Their depravity should not cancel my legal vote. Pray that God gives superhuman strength and supporter donations to our dear President Donald Trump. Nothing like the wisdom of Donald Trump has graced the Earth before. Thank you President Trump, we love you and have your back.

Massive and obvious in-your-face Democrat vote fraud. Pennsylvania must be de-certified from participating in federal elections for at least 12 years.

I can only speak about NW Pa, where I live, and this part of the world was solid Trump country. Crowds, yard signs, red hats MAGA stuff everywhere.
Yet it was important for the dimocrats to juice the vote enough to give Biden Erie County, Pa by a thousand votes.
We expect Pittsburgh to go dimocrat solidly, and for Philadelphia to go crooked overwhelmingly dimocrat, but Erie was emerging from that dominance, until the votes were miscounted. (The demographics of NE Ohio, bordering NW Pa are very much alike. The voting should have reflected that. the final tally did not. This is just one more indication of something corrupt.)
Finally, the Pa ballot this year was simple, just a few offices to vote for, so if there were lots of 'plunking' votes, ignoring the down ballot, that is just oje more reason to doubt the results.

I disagree on the 'Decertifying' comment. If we're understanding the numbers correctly, who you need to punish are the criminals: Wolfe, his Administration and the hundreds of willful fraudsters who helped them.
Put in place rules to correct this issue.
Photo ID. Paper ballots. In person voting only, except for military. Purge records every 10 years. Absolutly no bundling. Each county could have a multi-party team to create mobile voting station to serve the shut-ins. They would not be permitted to offer voting services to anyone not on their lists of voters they are to collect, without full agreement of the team, and could be further limited by a set number of provisional ballots.
These are things that could be set in place within a month's time. Let's have a redo, honestly.

Cont. Or penalize the Democrats for such wide-spread fraud. Treat it like you would a kids game, when you discover cheating.
Democrats get an automatic fail in each and every state they were cheating in. Bet they would be awfully cautious of doing that again.
