State Government Committee Sends Voter ID, Election Omnibus Bills to House Floor

Coming to the House floor … election reform in Pennsylvania.

No, really.

Now whether it gets done or not is another story.

The House State Government Committee, chaired by Carol Hill-Evans (D-York) and Brad Roae (R-Crawford/Erie), voted to move House Bill 771 and House Bill 1396 out of committee to the entire House floor for consideration. Both votes passed by 14-12 counts with HB 771 getting through with the support of Democrats Nancy Guenst (D-Montgomery/Philadelphia) and John Inglis (D-Allegheny).

Sponsored by Rep. Thomas Mehaffie (R-Dauphin), HB 771 would require voters to present a valid ID to cast their vote in the Commonwealth.
