Pennsylvania House committee advances election overhaul bill with new restrictions
CNN
Republican lawmakers in Pennsylvania are the latest to push new state-level voting restrictions, with a key state House committee on Tuesday advancing a major election overhaul bill that the state's Democratic governor blasted as "extreme."
"Pennsylvania had a free, fair and secure election in November 2020 with record turnout, in which people embraced mail-in voting and the results have been confirmed by two statewide audits," Gov. Tom Wolf said in a statement Tuesday. "Despite the clear facts, too many Harrisburg Republicans have spent the past year spewing lies and conspiracy theories about elections because they don't like the outcome. Now they're trying to use their own lies as an excuse to retaliate against voters by passing an extreme election bill."More Related News
