In 2019 Pennsylvania legislators passed a bill making it easier to vote by mail. Prior to that you had to be out of town on business (not vacation) or have a medical excuse (and name your condition and your doctor). The new law permitted people to request mail-in ballots without an excuse. It came just in time for the Covid pandemic and probably saved lives.
Now 14 Republican legislators have filed a lawsuit to overturn the law, saying it is unconstitutional. Are you ready? ELEVEN OF THOSE 14 HAD VOTED FOR THE BILL IN 2019. (Two hadn’t been elected yet; one had voted against it.)
Rep. Twardzik from Schuylkill was one of the 14. Doyle Heffley, bless his heart, was not one of the 14.
