Rep. Mike Kelly claims his main concern for trying to decertify Pennsylvania’s presidential tally was to “restore faith” in the election system. (Butler Eagle, front page, Jan. 11.)

I find that interesting, since a few days before the election, on Oct. 30, I received an “urgent” e-mail from Rep. Kelly with helpful, nonpartisan voting instructions for Butler County residents.

The email spelled out the steps to take to make sure your mail-in ballot would be counted. There was no mention that mail-in voting was unconstitutional or that Rep. Kelly would file several lawsuits after the election, and after his preferred candidate lost, to have mail-in ballots disqualified.

How am I to “restore faith” in a representative who would encourage me to properly vote by mail before an election and then, less than a month later, assert that if I followed his advice my vote was unconstitutional and must be tossed in the garbage?
