In Pennsylvania, the Republican-led state legislature passed a new voting law, Act 77, in spring of 2019 that established no excuse mail-in voting.
I wasn’t aware of this until the day after the election when I called my Republican rep’s office. Why vote on such a law at that time knowing the vitally important election was nearing? All a bit sus right?
He said it was a trade-off in order to get the elimination of the straight-party ballot option, which turned out beneficial for the state offices down ticket but unfortunately not for the President.
I am furious that they agreed to this; probably lost PA for the President.

A month or two ago Mark Levin had a good article on this. What the Republicans did was illegal - they needed to make a change to the state constitution instead.
Then the courts added more provisions to the new law which was also illegal.
