Trump allies shouldn't be sworn into office until cleared of their own claims of election fraud

But here’s the bigger question: How can any congressional Republican-elect who claims there was fraud or other voter irregularities in their own states be sworn into the new Congress when it commences on Sunday? After all, they are telling us their own election is likely illegitimate.
On Thursday, eight GOP members of Congress from Pennsylvania, including Trump’s stalwart ally Rep. Mike Kelly, released a statement declaring they will "vote against the certification of Pennsylvania's electors on January 6." These Republicans, who represent various parts of the Keystone State, didn’t raise issues specific solely to Biden’s win of the state but slammed the entire statewide election process, writing, “The Pennsylvania election could be summed up as a free-for-all with no oversight and different standards applied throughout the Commonwealth.”
They then alleged various reasons why all of the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania are suspect, citing, for example, the allegedly “unlawful” practice of “not properly requiring signatures to match those on mail-in ballots or requiring dates” and unauthorized “use of unsecured drop boxes” to collect ballots. Consequently, they claimed these “unlawful … activities resulted in a highly questionable and inaccurate vote total.”
What can we do but take them at their word?
