Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) said he would not be making any changes concerning voters being able to use mail-in ballots in his state. 

The governor’s statement came in response to President Donald Trump, who recently announced he would issue an executive order to eliminate mail-in ballots throughout the country. Currently, mail-in ballots are legal in Pennsylvania, a reality that Shapiro addressed on Tuesday.
