there. More than 50 sisters live at the Mount Saint Benedict Monastery, which also houses a chapel and offices.

“We want to call Cliff Maloney to account for his blatantly false post that accuses our sisters of fraud,” Sister Stephanie Schmidt, prioress, said in a news release posted to its website. “We do live at Mount Saint Benedict Monastery and a simple web search would alert him to our active presence in a number of ministries in Erie. We also want to alert those who subscribe to X and other social media platforms to be vigilant and seek additional information before accepting these posts as truth.”

“A free republic depends on free and fair elections. It depends equally on a discerning and conscientious citizenry who do not unquestioningly accept the word of anyone who has a social media platform,” Schmidt continued.

According to The PA Chase website, “The project is a dedicated initiative aimed at matching the Democrat’s tactics for mail-in ballot success and securing a significant victory for liberty-loving Republicans in the 2024 Election.”

The site stated it will hire “GOP ballot chasers” to knock on doors in target districts through Election Day. The purpose is to increase the Republican share of mail-in ballots from 20% to 33% statewide. The site said this is “a significant jump that could determine the outcome of the 2024 Election.”

In its statement, the Benedictine Sisters said they have no problem with those knocking on doors to increase participation in elections.

“We do take issue with claiming false information as true in an effort to discredit differing views or affiliations,” the release read.

The Benedictines added, “We are also pursuing legal counsel regarding this public defamation.”

Maloney later posted on X, “I appreciate the public reply from the church claiming that their members are legal voters. Once we have proof, we will be content.”

“Until then, know this… we will expose and report and (sic) situation that needs explanation,” he added.

“We will knock 500,000 doors to make sure that every Republican mail-in ballot is counted,” the post continued.

“This is how we win,” Maloney wrote.
