Election reform by Pennsylvania Republican legislators

 Don’t believe it.  These are many of the same legislators who refused to back a nonpartisan commission to draw fair district lines.  These are many of the same legislators who refused to allow mail-in ballots to be counted before election day.  These are the people who wanted to limit the number of drop boxes.  These are many of the same people who claimed the election was stolen from Trump even while the Republicans were winning more seats in the Pennsylvania House and Senate.

Some legislators want to make voting easier, increase participation, and believe that engagement with the political system strengthens democracy.


Then there are legislators who want to make voting harder, impose conditions, claim widespread fraud, and hope they can win by limiting the suffrage.  


Pennsylvania Republican legislators fall into that second group.
