A lawsuit has been filed to disqualify Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) from the poll in Pennsylvania because of his alleged participation in Trump’s rebellion.
Lawsuit Requests That Rep. Scott Perry Be Disqualified From The Poll
ABC27 in Harrisburg, PA reported:
The lawsuit, which was filed on January 2 by Harrisburg-area activist and former congressional candidate Gene Stilp, requires Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State Al Schmidt to take away Perry from the poll forward of the spring’s tenth Congressional District major.
….
The lawsuit alleges Perry helped push conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen and superior efforts to interchange the Lawyer Basic with a Trump loyalist.
“Scott Perry was a leading proponent of using the January 6, 2021 Congressional presidential election certification process to disrupt the transfer of presidential administration from Trump to Biden,” says the lawsuit, sighting the FBI’s seizure of Perry’s cellphone data and different accusations made in opposition to Perry following the January 6 assault.
The lawsuit additionally requests a referral of “information of any possible criminal activity by Scott Perry or any other party discovered in this case to the Pennsylvania Attorney General for prosecution.”
Who Is Rep. Scott Perry?
Rep. Scott Perry is a Republican member of the US Home of Representatives who represents Pennsylvania’s tenth District. Perry has been a member of the Home since 2013 and is at present the chair of the Home Freedom Caucus.
Rep. Scott Perry Is The One Member Of Congress Who Has Been Linked To The Coup Plot
As I wrote about Rep. Perry in PoliticusUSA’s newsletter, The Daily. “Rep. Perry is the one member of Congress who has been directly linked to the coup plot through activities that could not be covered up with the Speech and Debate Clause. Perry was actively working to get Jeffrey Clark named Attorney General by Trump so that Clark could use the Justice Department to overturn the 2020 election.”
As soon as the information broke that Jack Smith had Perry’s texts and Trump was disqualified from the poll in Colorado, it was inevitable that voters in Pennsylvania would try to disqualify Rep. Perry. There’s ample proof that in contrast to different Republican members of Congress, Perry was brazenly working with the Trump White Home to overturn the 2020 election.
It’s unknown whether or not the lawsuit will probably be profitable, however the authorized motion makes it clear that voters aren’t going to be allowed to neglect about 1/6 and those that participated in Trump’s coup.
