The Senate needs to advance the PRESS Act ASAP to protect journalist-source confidentiality against retaliatory government surveillance!

Use this @ACLU's tool to tell your senators that you support the PRESS Act: https://t.co/xjmqSCppa8

Hundreds of county election officials and 45,000 poll workers made democracy happen today in Pennsylvania.

Counting votes takes time — and accuracy and integrity are the priority. We ask for your patience as we do this important work.

Tomorrow is #ElectionDay. Polls will be open from 7 a.m to 8 p.m.

This is an interesting graphic in the @ind_fisc_office’s demographic outlook for Pa. Fewer school-age and fewer working age by 2030 than in 2020 but more 65+ and that no doubt is a concern to state policymakers

📢 For @LancasterCounty and any county that needs to hear it: college students can register to vote where they go to school.

Our statement with @LWVPA:

[Jaxon White @Jaxon__White]

A Lancaster County deputy elections clerk allegedly told F&M students they could not register to vote until they provided proof that their registrations in their home states had been canceled.

That's not true, according to the 1979 Symm v. United States Supreme Court decision.
