Hearings are to begin in many states to determine what changes need to be made to insure a accurate and verifiable election in the future. All those who are interested in this process can watch the proceedings and contact their Representative and Senator concerning this issue.

The House State Government Committee will continue its oversight of the 2020 election from last session and dive deeper into Pennsylvania’s 1937 election law, so voters have faith in the process and the results.
