PA-TREAS: Garrity campaign tries to walk back election denial

On Jan. 5, 2021, then-Treasurer elect Stacy Garrity stood before a cold crowd at the Pennsylvania Capitol, at a rally intended to push lawmakers to decertify the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania.

“Let there be no question, I’m speaking about election integrity,” Garrity said to a crowd waving Trump flags that had cheered on speaker after speaker decrying a stolen presidency. “The election from this November is tarnished forever.”

But, according to her re-election campaign, Garrity wasn’t talking about that election.

“Stacy Garrity spoke at the January 5 rally in Harrisburg on one issue and one issue alone: the inconsistent application of ballot counting rules that directly affected the outcome of a state senate race in the 45th District,” said Jim Tkacik, a spokesperson for her campaign.

Tkacik also said that Garrity accepts the results of the 2020 election, and will accept the results of the 2024 election, even if former President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee, loses.
