"We still have work to do to ensure that our next congressional redistricting cycle is cooperative and reflective of the feedback given by community leaders."

"We’re grateful to our election officials for doing the hard work to make this quick turnaround possible."

Statement by a coalition led by Common Cause Pennsylvania on the constitutional amendments proposed by the Senate State Government Committee.

It was reported earlier today that Pennsylvania Republican candidate for Governor, state Senator Doug Mastriano, posed in a Confederate uniform costume in a faculty photo for the Army War College in 2017.

"This decision ensures that millions of Pennsylvania voters can continue to cast their ballots safely and conveniently in the manner they choose. Act 77 was passed with strong bipartisan support for good reason – making voting easier and more accessible is the right thing to do." 

Republicans plan to spend millions of taxpayer dollars to place these measures on a municipal primary election ballot – where maybe one-in-five voters will see them and be able to voice their opinion on them. Each constitutional amendment costs around $2 million in advertising costs. So far, if passed as-is, SB106 will cost taxpayers $12 million before they even have a chance to vote on them.
