Pennsylvania’s election integrity report targets long list of reforms

(The Center Square) – After four months of hearings, Pennsylvania’s House State Government Committee released a 99-page report detailing recommended reforms to the state’s election law.

Pre-canvassing ballots and banning drop boxes – two of the most contentious issues that divided Republicans and Gov. Tom Wolf – were not addressed.

Many involved tweaking the state’s mail-in ballot after a record 2.6 million residents voted by mail in the November election. The figure overwhelmed county election offices, and Pennsylvania’s final results were delayed for a week.
