Patrick’s political campaign, could run afoul of federal campaign finance laws.

There’s no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

In reaction, John Fetterman, the Lt. Gov. of Pennsylvania jokingly tweeted that he wanted to take Patrick up on his offer, and ended by taking a jab at the Dallas Cowboys who suffered a disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

“Hey, Governor Patrick- it’s your counterpart in Pennsylvania. I’d like to collect your handsome reward for reporting voter fraud. I got a dude in Forty Fort, PA who tried to have his dead mom vote for Trump. I’d like mine in Sheetz gift cards pls. ps. The Cowboys blow.”
