The Pennsylvania Senate on June 25 passed a voting reform bill after it passed in the State House on June 22. The bill then went to Democrat Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s desk.
The Voting Rights Protection Act (HB1300) will require voter identification and a more stringent election audit.
“This is a solid election reform bill, which simply ensures it is easier to vote and harder to cheat,” the bill’s primary sponsor, House State Government Committee Chairman Seth Grove, told Epoch Times.
“It is one of the strongest integrity bills in the entire country. I’m really proud of the work of the House State Government Committee on this legislation, all the hearings. We’ve had to provide the best election reform bill in the entire country that will modernize our system. And it is really great in ensuring that voters can trust the outcome of every election thereafter,” Grove said.
The Voting Rights Protection Act came about after the House State Government Committee held 10 hearings from January through April, with 52 people of different backgrounds testifying.
The bill expands election security by ensuring voter identification through an updated county-provided voter registration card; creating an election fraud hotline; banning private donations to counties for election administration; and doubling penalties for election code violations.
“We basically took every security and integrity process of every other state and put it in the bill,” Grove said. “Voter ID for in-person signature verification, which Pennsylvania had up until the 2020 General Election when the Supreme Court removed that. We bring that back in. We require training for elections directors for signature verification, we buy county sorters with artificial intelligence to help with signature verification on mail-in ballot applications requiring two unique identifiers.”
Voter ID has widespread support in Pennsylvania and nationally.

Where it will be rapidly shredded and relegated to the dustbin of history.
Impeach Wolf and do a full forensic Audit.
Take over vote administration in Philly and Pittsburgh.
Now why on earth would they need to change anything about voting in Pennsylvania? I thought it was super clean, and the GOP legislature certified it. The Supreme Court also said everything was fine. So did FOX news.
Weird weird weird.
Won’t matter. Local election official will do what ever they want with impunity
The corrupt democrat machine in Philadelphia is surely not concerned about these laws either.
I was born in Philly, and I live 30 minutes outside Philly now.
Take off and nuke Philly from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure...
If the same ACORN union thugs still staff and run the counting centers, nothing will change.
Fox News had a gorgeous staff member in its early years.
I believe that she was moved to a daytime show after starting a family and then eventually left.
I wish I remembered her name.
Totally USELESS without enforcement.
NOTHING has been enforced about the election of 2020 as of yet.
What makes anyone think this new law will make any difference???
The Green light has already been given for every form of election fraud known to man to take place from this point forward... with no consequences.
Democrats are LAUGHING in our faces over this!
The GOP is dead.
We asked for justice and they give us new laws for the democrats to break.
It's all kabuki to get the Charlie Brown conservatives in PA to turn out for the phony election in 2022.
Kabuki for the chump PA conservatives.
Why wasn’t this reform bill done years ago?
Need I provide a snarky but true answer or will someone else do some friendly “splaining”?
Do they have a veto proof majority if not this bill is utterly useless after the commie Governor vetos it!!
yeah ok................
If PA hasn’t mandated going back to dumb voting machines, this bill is a joke.
Are you thinking of Linda Vester?
She was a top notch professional journalist. A real journalist. Not the fake phony frauds you see on every cable show today.
I always thought Patti Ann Brown was very beautiful.
Remove the dead voters from the voter rolls and ban mail-in ballot elections.
