Demands Arise for PA Attorney General to ‘Step Aside’: He’s Trying to ‘Steal Pennsylvania from Trump’ – SHAPIRO, A HIRED (LEFTIST AG) GUN VIA BLOOMBERG’S MEGA MILLION WAR-CHEST!
BREITBART | By Hannah Bleau | November 4, 2020
Calls for Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) to “step aside” are rising after he urged voters to seek election help from Democrats, mere days after stating that “if all the votes are added up in PA, Trump is going to lose.”
Shapiro drew strong reactions across social media after encouraging voters to seek election help from Democrats on Election Day.
“Need help with your mail in ballot, finding out where to vote, or something else?” Shapiro wrote on social media. “Call the @PADems Voter Assistance Hotline. Someone will answer and help you out. Call 1-833-PA-VOTES”:

Days earlier, Shapiro predicted that Trump would lose the Keystone State, contingent on if “all the votes are added up.”
His partisan position continues to draw heavy criticism, particularly given that the presidential race could come down to the Keystone State, which is continuing to count outstanding ballots.
Pennsylvania GOP Attorney General candidate Heather Heidelbaugh called on Shapiro to “step aside” from the process entirely.
“Shapiro cannot be seen as having his thumb on the scale, acting in the dual roles of legal arbiter of the vote and a candidate deeply invested in its outcome,” she said in a statement, calling on the attorney general to “appoint a trusted and impartial deputy to oversee any legal questions and disputes in which that office might play a role concerning this “The outcome of these elections in Pennsylvania must not be muddled with this glaring conflict of interest,” she added:
"The outcome of these elections in Pennsylvania must not be muddled with this glaring conflict of interest. Again, I urge Josh Shapiro to step aside and put an end to flagrant partiality inherent in his dual roles.” – @Heidelbaugh4AG

Others also signaled concern:
That's interesting considering PA's Democrat AG Josh Shapiro said on Oct 31st days — before — the election, "If all the votes are added up in PA, @realDonaldTrump is going to lose.."
