HARRISBURG, Pa. Following an election which saw record turnout, and depending on who you ask, uncertain results, elected lawmakers in Pennsylvania have introduced more than two dozen proposals to change the way future elections are handled in the commonwealth.
At least 25 bills, with more being added seemingly every week, are currently circulating the state s General Assembly and being assigned to committees. They include Democratic proposals to extend the deadline to register to vote, and allow for early in-person voting, and Republican proposals to enact voter ID laws and eliminate no-excuse mail-in voting.
