The following Times headline appeared above the paper's lead story February 28:

VOTE FRAUD MYTH
FUELS G.O.P. DRIVE
TO REWRITE LAWS

Perhaps this example of twisting-truth journalism calls for a letter to New York's journal of disinformation from, say, a Pennsylvania legislator in view of a recent legislative resolution that includes these paragraphs:

THEREFORE, be it RESOLVED that the Pennsylvania House of Representatives—

1. Recognizes substantial irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing during the November 3, 2020 election; and

2. Disapproves of the infringement on the General Assembly’s authority pursuant to the United States Constitution to regulate elections; and

3. Disapproves of and disagrees with the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s premature certification of the results of the November 3, 2020 election regarding presidential electors; and

4. Declares that the selection of presidential electors and other statewide electoral contest results in this Commonwealth is in dispute....

It would appear from just four paragraphs in the Pennsylvania resolution that the New York paper prefers that the standard for election laws throughout the country should rest on "substantial irregularities and improprieties" to guarantee that presidential elections shall always be won by the candidate of the Democrat party.

LPR believes that this point would be especially well-taken if made by an official whose state party has been targeted by a Democrat "drive" to impose one-party tyrannical rules upon a free people.
