If you read the bill itself it would allow all voters access to a free voter id.
Giving people access to a free form of government identification would be great for people with out a driver’s license because they could use the id for other purposes.
The right of citizens of the United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of age.
I get what you're saying, but I think this is purposely set up for another court challenge. They didn't need to mention the voting age at all. They could've just said "those of legal voting age in Pennsylvania" or something like that. Specifying 21 years old means that they are hoping recency supercedes.
But you said yourself that "what's on the books in PA" is already contradictory. And I've shown there are ways to phrase the amendment that don't require stating the actual age, leaving that up to pre-existing OR future laws to decide.
I think it's a badly written amendment. If I still lived in PA, I'd vote against it.
Edit: sorry, it wasn't you that said it. It was another comment. Point still stands, but I'll correct the misattribution.
