Letter to the editor: Making voting easier the right thing to do
State Rep. Michael J. Puskaric, R-Washington/Allegheny, has introduced House Bill 25, “Abolishing the No Excuse Mail in Vote former HB 2971.”
This appears to be the same modus operandi used by the Republican party — create confusion regarding no-excuse absentee ballots, followed by legislation to repeal no-excuse absentee ballots as a “solution” due to “public confusion” regarding such ballots.
Testimony before the House State Government Committee on March 18 by Pam Anderson, Richard T. Gebbie, Thad Hall, Amber McReynolds and Charles Stewart clearly shows that such a “problem” does not exist naturally and is only the result of gaslighting by the GOP.
If efforts would be made to make voting easier rather than more difficult, Pennsylvania, and indeed the United States, would be much better for it.
