Pennsylvania Governor Wants to Speed Up Vote Count

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (R) unveiled a wishlist of election reforms to address logistical concerns that some county and state officials fear could turn nightmarish on Nov. 3, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

“He specifically asked the Republican-controlled General Assembly to pass legislation that allows counties to begin processing mail-in ballots sooner and count ones that arrive shortly after Election Day. While 1.5 million people in Pennsylvania voted by mail this June, experts are anticipating that number to surge amid concerns about COVID-19.”
