“Pa. Republicans propose election law changes as anxiety builds over mail voting”

Philadelphia Inquirer:

Republican leaders in the Pennsylvania Senate introduced legislation Monday that would effectively prohibit the use of mail-ballot drop boxes that President Donald Trump has criticized, make it more likely that a winner in the presidential race is known soon after polls close, and reduce the number of ballots rejected for arriving late

But the proposal also would give voters less time to request mail ballots, prompting Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, to quickly come out against it. That left it unclear Monday whether a fierce political and legal battle over mail voting in a key swing state would be resolved in the state legislature or in the courts.
