The Pennsylvania House of Representatives recently approved a bill aimed at assisting counties in managing the influx of mail-in ballots during elections. The bill, passed on party lines, would allow county election workers to start processing ballots up to seven days before Election Day. This move is seen as crucial in avoiding a repeat of the prolonged vote count experienced in the 2020 election.
While Democrats supported the bill, Republicans expressed concerns about potential fraud. The bill now awaits consideration in the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain due to the Republican majority.
