“Panel: Pa.’s primary should be moved up”

See this report, which begins: “The state’s primary election should be moved from May to early March in presidential years to give Pennsylvania greater weight in national elections, according to a task force convened by the governor to review the state’s election law. The task force also is recommending that the state allow voters to file absentee ballots for any reason and be able to do so by fax or electronically. It also suggests state lawmakers look into whether electronic and other voting machines need a paper trail to prevent election fraud or glitches. But the group backed away from any changes to the winner-take-all electoral college system for presidential elections, and it ruled out allowing people to register to vote on Election Day. The task force was almost split down the middle on those two issues.”
