Let America Vote announced the 2022 inductees into its Voter Suppression Hall of Shame, an ongoing list dishonoring the biggest anti-democracy and anti-voting rights politicians. The 2022 inductees are extremist candidates who deny the results of the 2020 election, are threatening to deny the results of the 2022 election, and want to be in a position to overturn the will of the people in the 2024 election. In Pennsylvania, Doug Mastriano was inducted to the Voter Suppression Hall of Shame this cycle.
“Doug Mastriano is a dangerous politician who poses an extremist threat to our democracy. He’s proven he refuses to listen to the will of the voters and wants to sabotage future elections for himself and his political allies,” said LAV President Tiffany Muller. “We’re inducting Mastriano into our Voter Suppression Hall of Shame for his election denial and extremist policies that will silence the voice of Pennsylvanians and restrict the freedom to vote.”
Mastriano attended the January 6th insurrection and has continued to spout lies about the 2020 election results. He has announced plans to appoint a secretary of state who would execute his plan to disrupt elections, including breaking federal law.
-
Appoint the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Pennsylvania’s chief elections official, who will probably share his extremist views and could refuse to certify any election results Mastriano does not agree with.
-
Sign the ascertainment for a slate of fake Pennsylvania’s presidential and vice presidential electors.
-
Push for restrictive voting measures that would subvert the electoral process.
