The Koch brothers supported former presidential candidates Governors Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, Pa state Senator Greg Rothman, congressman elect Ryan Mackenzie, and Senator elect Dave McCormack.
” The Koch political machine, which fuels the most powerful donor network in conservative politics, is declaring itself as part of the NeverTrump effort for 2024, aiming to deny former President Donald Trump a third nomination for the White House.The declaration…never explicitly mentions Trump, but it’s abundantly clear from the tone in Americans for Prosperity CEO Emily Seidel’s message…”
Governor DeSantis hired the “Lawyer Suing Trump’s Biggest Allies” for Dominion electronic voting machines , Attorney Libby Locke.
Senator-elect McCormack developed a “rolodex” of billionaire supporters throughout his career as “a former CEO of the world’s largest hedge fund and a U.S. Treasury official in the George W. Bush administration.
The group of McCormack billionaire supporters described in this article published Oct 31, 2024 are 56% supporting President Trump and 44% supporting other candidates: Nikki Haley (22%) and 22% for others.
In a stunning upset, Republican Dave McCormick unseats longtime U.S. Sen. Bob Casey,Nov. 7, 2024
Democrats say that McCormack’s win was related to “Donald Trump’s strong performance in the state, which boosted Republicans down-ballot”
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s reporter, Sean Collins Walsh, said How Dave McCormick unseated Bob Casey in Pennsylvania’s Senate race: Trump, messaging, and money.
“It’s even more notable because Pennsylvania’s statewide election results this year appear to be aberrational. Five presidential swing states had Senate races this year, and Donald Trump won all five. But voters from Michigan to Arizona appear to have been splitting their tickets, because Democratic Senate candidates have won or are leading four of those races.”
“Four states that Republican Donald Trump carried in this month’s presidential election also elected Democratic senators. This was two times more than the combined senate elections in 2020, 21, and 22. No states had mismatches in the other direction…Since 2012, 91% of Senate contests (222 of 245) have been won by candidates from the party that won that state’s most recent presidential race”.
Evidence of election fraud in Arizona Senate races from 2018 to 2024 have been described.
In this same December 9, 2024 article, Rasmussen exit polls indicated that Kari Lake won the 2022 Governor’s race by eight points.
Election integrity experts Favorito and Curtis indicated that the routine use of exit polls were discontinued after elections because they were not consistent with the electronic machine tabulation counts of votes. Both experts advocate for banning electronic voting machines. In addition, both experts indicate that election laws have been written, often by the same politicians that purchased the machines for the state, to make it very unlikely that evidence of election fraud can overturn an election result.
There have been media publications describing voting patterns suggestive of election fraud in Nevada. “What we can report today is that Republican Senate Candidate Sam Brown was ahead of Democrat Jacky Rosen until votes ‘mysteriously’ started disappearing…total number of votes between Nov 7th and Nov 8th actually went down in Clark and Washoe Counties (the two largest in Nevada) by a total of 26,902…In a world of 2nd Grade Math, there is no way this is possible, and it is, of course, reflective of the destruction of ballots identified. Very conveniently, this number tracks well with the amount of votes that Sam Brown was ‘defeated’ by”.
Like in Arizona, there was an early morning “single count update of 109,000 votes, 83 percent of which favored Democrats in Wisconsin. That vote count dump ultimately flipped the outcome of the race from Hovde to Baldwin” .
There were none of these anomalous voting patterns in the Pennsylvania Senate race between incumbent Senator Casey and Dave McCormick. It was a very close race with a much smaller margin of victory than President Trump had in Pa. Without the various voting anomalies in Arizona, Nevada and Wisconsin, the Republicans most likely would have won those Senate races by a small margin as did Dave McCormick in Pa.
After the 2024 election, a former Trump adviser, Ted Christian, — backed by a Bucks County venture capitalist —, Paul Martino, announces that he’s running for Pennsylvania’s GOP chair Dec. 6, 2024.
When the news broke of PAGOP Chairman Lawrence Tabas’ decision to not seek re-election, the party leadership’s support instantly swelled in the press for Rothman Dec 18, 2024.
Then Ted Christian withdrew as candidate for the chair of the PAGOP. And Senate elect McCormack announced his support for Pa state Senator Rothman for the chair.
Nonetheless, Cumberland County Commissioner rejected state Senator Rothman’s candidacy for chairman of the PAGOP in an email to U.S. Senator-elect Dave McCormick.
Despite this rejection, “Cumberland County Republican Committee pledged all of its state committee votes to county native Rothman”, December 19, 2024.
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s reporter, Gillian McGoldrick, reiterated this sequence of events. Ted Christian entered the race supported by President Trump. Attorney Tabas withdrew from the race shortly after that announcement. Senate elect McCormick and top Pa Republicans supported “state Senator and former Cumberland County GOP chair”, Greg Rothman, as a candidate for the chair. Ted Christian dropped out of the race and supported Rothman.
The reporter indicated that these events demonstrate that U.S. Senator-elect Dave McCormick’s “weight in the state party”, December 20, 2024.
In June 2024, the USA CN editorial board indicated that the Delaware county Pa, pro se litigant team of Stenstrom and Hoopes had evidence of election fraud from the 2020 to 2023 elections without support from the administrative wing of the PAGOP. We interpreted that lack of support to be consistent with other evidence of the PAGOP’s bias against President Trump and the Maga movement.
We have cited media reports that U.S. Senator elect McCormack’s narrow margin of victory was significantly supported by the much larger margin of victory of President-elect Trump in Pennsylvania.
There have been media reports that Senator elect McCormack voted for the most anti Trump anti Maga Speaker of the three Senate candidates, Texas Senator Cornyn.
Based on the sequence of events described in this editorial, the USA CN editorial board believes that if Dave McCormick’s candidate, State Senator Rothman, wins the chair of the PAGOP, the anti Trump and anti-Maga bias, evidenced by the previous chair’s management of the PAGOP, will continue.
Pennsylvania Republican voters deserve to have their PAGOP led by President elect Trump’s candidate for the chair. Pennsylvania Republican voters should send this message to their elected officials and to President Trump.
