SCOOP: Emails show that PA House Rep Mike Jones & his staff compiled a list of dead voters, who they thought died before 2019 but voted in 2020.
The problem? They were all alive and active voters.

Pennsylvania Spotlight obtained all election-related emails between the York County Commissioners Office and members of the General Assembly from the York County Solicitors Office. This came a month after PA Spotlight appealed York Countys decision to withhold these emails after the House and Senate Republican Caucuses intervened and tried to block our reception of the emails.
The emails offer insight into the conspiracy theories and lies about the election that ran rampant through the leaders of the Stop the Steal events in the days, weeks, and months following the 2020 election. One of the more glaring examples came from State Representative Mike Jones, He emailed the county commissioners and the district attorney on November 16, 2020, about a list of potentially fraudulent votes.
Rep. Jones told the commissioners subsequent to the November 3rd election my staff began investigating accusations of mail-in votes cast on behalf of deceased constituents, and they have uncovered 15 potential (I emphasize potential) incidents of the deceased voting. He goes on to claim that most of the people died prior to 2019 and that in some instances, it appears they clearly were based on obituaries we were able to locate. In other instances, we could not find obituaries.
On November 20, 2020, Jones replied to his own email stating he was wrong and followed up with an attorney this morning who has a better system for checking constituent status, and upon further review, I dont believe the voters my staff identified are deceased. The York County Solicitors Office looked into each of the names Representative Jones provided and found all of these voters are current registered active voters in York County.

(17,308 posts)1. Jones knew it was all BS. The message has/had no relationship to truth.
Someone needs to ask him how many Mike Jones, or James Smiths that he thinks that there may be in the US.
