Dear Editor,

I am deeply disturbed by the election fraud that has been reported in our commonwealth in the recent presidential election. Violations with mail-in ballots, lack in chain of custody, obsolete voter registration rolls, excessive ballots over registered voters (i.e. Allegheny County), restriction of authorized election observers, votes by dead people and of course manipulation of votes by computer “glitches” in the Dominion computer systems.

However, putting all this aside, I am even more disturbed by the violation of our election process as pursuant to our Constitution, specifically Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2. Based on our Constitution, only our Legislators can lawfully change our election rules. It is my understanding that numerous changes have been made by unelected officials, such as the Secretary of State and other election “officials,” some made in just days before the election, that circumvented existing election rules.

Obviously, this is a blatant violation of our Constitution and democracy. How can this be enacted without legislative approval and be legal? Why did our courts fail to even hear the facts of this constitutional violation?

Our elected federal congressmen have clearly indicated that their role was simply to count and certify the Electoral College votes regardless if they were caused by election fraud or in violation of our Constitution. They encouraged us to contact our state elected officials, which is exactly why I am encouraging everyone to contact your state elected official for answers and what action they propose to achieve faith and trust back into our election process.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion. Sincerely,

Robert V. Strauss
