Jake Corman announced an election reform plan that calls for eliminating no-excuse mail-in voting that both he and fellow gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano supported in their roles as state senators.
Ten candidates running to be Pennsylvania's next governor are Republicans Lou Barletta, Jake Corman, Joe Gale, Charlie Gerow, Melissa Hart, Doug Mastriano, Bill McSwain, Dave White, Nche Zama and Democrat Josh Shapiro. File photosBaseless claims about the validity of voting in Pennsylvania during the 2020 presidential election and the future of election integrity have resurfaced as a gubernatorial campaign issue.
and fight – said he isn’t calling for repealing Act 77 but rather wants to gut the part that allowed mail-in ballots and gave rise to election security issues. While Corman has supported legislation that others offered over the past year to reform the electoral process which term-limited Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed, his opponents go back to the one he cast on Act 77 - the result of a compromise that eliminated straight-party voting in exchange for no-excuse mail-in voting.
He accuses both senators of destroying election integrity with their support of Act 77. He further said he would call out publicly any Republican who hesitates about repealing that law and threaten them with a primary challenge. But Gerow also found parts of Corman’s plan gave him pause, particularly one that would give the Senate the authority to certify elections not the Secretary of State, in the case of a gubernatorial election, or governor in all others, as is currently provided for in the election code.
