PA-GOV: Governor hopeful Stacy Garrity (R) says she'd work with Trump administration on Pennsylvania's elections [View all]

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Stacy Garrity said Friday afternoon that she would cooperate with President Donald Trump’s administration in running Pennsylvania’s elections.

“I would work with the Trump administration, obviously, because we need to turn our state around,” Garrity, who also serves as state treasurer, said while meeting with reporters during the state Republican Party’s winter meeting at the Harrisburg Hilton.

On a podcast this week, Trump called for Republicans to “take over the voting” in “at least 15 places” and “nationalize” future elections — in direct opposition to Article 1, Section IV of the U.S. Constitution, which grants states the authority to run their own elections.

The White House has downplayed Trump’s comments, claiming he only meant he supported pending GOP legislation requiring people to prove their citizenship to register to vote.
