Republican Philadelphia City Commissioner Secretary Schmidt discussed the potential for changes to election rules in Pennsylvania in the next 59 days. Schmidt highlighted that it is uncommon for election codes to be altered close to election day to avoid any perception of bias towards a particular party or candidate.
Regarding the message Secretary Schmidt wants to convey about Pennsylvania's ballot counting process, he emphasized the uniqueness of the state's voting procedures. Pennsylvania's embrace of mail-in voting, although relatively new, has been widely accepted as a convenient option for voters who face challenges in physically going to the polls on election day.
