Harrisburg, Pa. â Pennsylvania Republicans plan to reintroduce their election overhaul legislation â which Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed last month â now that Wolf has changed his public position to say heâs open to new voter ID requirements.
Wolf had said that changes to the stateâs voter ID rules were a nonstarter for him, declaring it off-limits even before Republicans unveiled the bill. His office didnât negotiate the legislation at all before Wolf vetoed it.
But in a shift, Wolf told The Inquirer last week he is open to new voter ID rules, setting the stage for the issue to be front and center when the legislature returns to the Capitol in the fall â and as Wolf moves to cement his legacy in the waning months of his second and last term.
