WiFi for reporters at Pence rally includes username ‘FilledTheSeat’ and password ‘JusticeBarrett’

To log into the WiFi at Vice President Pence’s rally in Erie, Pa., reporters had to enter “FilledTheSeat” as the username and “JusticeBarrett” as the password, in reference to Republicans successfully confirming Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court last week.

The WiFi combination was first reported by New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi, who serves as the publication’s Washington correspondent.

Pence is making two stops in Pennsylvania on Monday, in Erie and Latrobe.

President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden have also been barnstorming the state in recent days as polls tighten in key battleground states.

The former vice president now leads Trump by an average of just 2.7 points in the RealClearPolitics index of battleground state polls. The lead was 5 points on average two weeks ago.

Barrett was confirmed in the Senate by a 52-48 vote, making her the third justice confirmed under Trump in the past four years.
