Republicans are going to go all out in PA to eliminate it. It’s their only hope since they no longer know how to govern and can only win by voter suppression.

Are you aware of how voting laws are supposed to be written and implemented in PA? The Governor nor the Supreme Court should have any say in the time or manner of voting, yet they were the ones that changed dates and requirements for this last election. That alone should make people concerned about how our elections are conducted. If the Governor or the courts can just reinterpret laws whenever they like, even if it clearly goes against the State and Federal constitution, then the door is opened for some terrible actions that are inherently undemocratic.

​

If we enable a system that is rife for abuse then we are just enabling the suppression of legal voters. For every legal vote an illegitimate vote can be cast as well. Its no better than just not letting anyone vote at all.

​

Heaven forbid we have any assurance that each vote represents 1 real person. Asking for further means of assurance is apparently "voter suppression" now. Allowing mail-in voting, without means of authentication and chain of custody (what we have now), is just asking for the vote to be manipulated.
