Nuns dismiss questions about their voter registration in Pennsylvania

The names of the 53 nuns were posted online, but the nuns say 55 of them currently live there, and that three of the 53 in the video with the names Maloney put on the X no longer live there.

Maloney later posted on X that if the nuns are legal voters, “then I encourage them to exercise their right to vote,” adding that “at this time, our legal team continues to analyze the situation.”

Sister Linda Romy, who coordinates the nuns’ communications and development activities, said Friday, “I mean, there’s nothing to analyze.” Given that they have been filmed by journalists in recent days, she said “there is a lot of evidence that we are here”.

Romy said the nuns believe Maloney invaded their privacy.

“They immediately post something without a simple question,” Romy said.

The moment the nuns found themselves in the political spotlight was prompted by a phone call from Al Schmidt, who, as secretary of state, is Pennsylvania’s top election official. Schmidt posted on X on Thursday that he had spoken with the prioress of the convent “to thank her for countering misinformation about the election.”
