Listen ""Voters won": Common Cause PA on election reform"
Episode Synopsis
On October 31, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signed the most sweeping reform to the commonwealth's election law in decades. The ACLU-PA supported the legislation, along with our partners in a coalition called Keystone Votes. One of those partners is Common Cause PA, and for this episode, Common Cause PA Executive Director Micah Sims joins the podcast to talk about how the reforms will benefit Pennsylvania voters and what work remains to be done.

Correction: In the conversation, Andy says that mail-in ballots have to be postmarked by 5 p.m. on the Friday before the election. That provision was not in the final bill that was signed into law.
