"In Pa politics, thanks to these closed primaries, spring is not a time when hope flowers, but when apathy, cynicism and polarization take root. It is time for our commonwealth to shift." Thank you, Senator Dan Laughlin, for your words in Broad + Liberty! 👇 broadandliberty.com/2023/03/31/sen…

Each Pennsylvanian should have the opportunity for substantive participation in every election. My legislation would give a voice to the over 1.2M Pennsylvanians whose taxpayer dollars pay for primary elections in which they cannot vote. spotlightpa.org/news/2023/04/p…

It’s nuts that our next mayor could be someone who receives 25% (or less!) in the Democratic Primary. This only makes the job of the next mayor more difficult, as he or she will be perceived as lacking a mandate. Time for our city’s electoral system to modernize. END

BPA Vets Co-Chair Rocky Bleier received a warm welcome from members of the PA House on 6/22 — and enjoyed talking to them about the importance of repealing closed primaries! We hope this means a move toward open primaries for all. Because if not now, then when?

What’s Ballot PA been up to? Hear Committee of Seventy’s Pat Christmas tell all about how the fight to repeal closed primaries and let EVERY voter vote continues!

This is huge, historic news. Open primaries legislation has come up in PA many times since 1995 and NEVER before come up for a House committee vote. Amid the dysfunction in Washington, and the political exhaustion of the American public, there is hope. Thank you @repscottconklin
