“Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) has reached a deal with Republican lawmakers — who control the state legislature — on the largest fundamental modifications of how ballots are cast in decades,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
“Several are reforms that Democrats have long sought. And while none would catapult Pennsylvania to the bleeding edge of electoral reform, in many cases they would expand access to voting in a state that has fallen behind.”
“The changes include: Allowing any voter to request an absentee ballot and vote by mail without providing a reason, as they currently must. Creating a permanent mail-in voter list. Reducing the voter registration deadline from 30 to 15 days before an election.”
