Pennsylvania House passes election reform bill despite veto threat

Republicans in Pennsylvania’s state House passed a bill aimed at shoring up election integrity despite a looming veto threat from Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.

House Bill 1300, approved along party lines by a margin of 112-89 on Tuesday, provides for “voting system defects, disclosure, investigations and penalties” and establishes the “Bureau of Election Audits,” among other provisions Democrats, including Wolf, found objectionable as the state moves toward conducting an Arizona-style audit of its 2020 presidential election results.
