Harrisburg, PA- This week the Pennsylvania Freedom Caucus filed seven amendments to a package of legislation seeking to alter the state’s election code to allow open primaries.
I appreciate the efforts to bring some better parameters to PA voting, however the biggest issue that needs to be addressed before anything else can be adjusted is the illegal passing of Act 77. It is high time blame needs to stop being something worried about and meaningful action is taking place to repeal Act 77. As constituents we really are not worried about who is to blame for this, or that it was highjacked and twisted into something other than what was voted for. Excuse and reason time is over, it is time to repeal it. Once that is done, then we will be willing to support measures such as this to see meaningful change come to our election system. Until we fix the mistakes of the past we will never see a free and fair election in PA again. So yes I applaud the work of the caucus and the people fighting in it, but lets put our focus on the most important thing and repeal Act 77.
I think the thought is worth-while; but, it's an uphill climb. A lot of people seem to want to be paid, to vote; and they don't seem to want to be asked any questions that are intended to figure out whether they've thought about the candidates as if they (the individual voters) ARE the locality or the Commonwealth or the Nation, in exchange for that money.
"Signature-of-Record" means a database; databases can be hacked.
Thomas Jefferson had a device that made copies of his correspondence, by means of a pen that was attached to the pen he was using, to write the original letter. I'm sure someone can create a computer-enabled pen that would be connected to a computer,...
...that could "trace" any image of any signature...
...either "exactly" or by putting a series of "blips" in the copy, so that it would all look legit.
Your goal is a good one, IMO. But, it's one of those things that people have to want.

PA Freedom Caucus ROCKS!
I know these were poison pills on Dem efforts to disrupt our Primaries, but you guys get it, and do it. Thank you for your diligence.

Youf agenda sucks. We want no excuse mail in voting. I want to study my candidates. You need to make more the aside to vote not harder.
