Pennsylvania House passes bill to end closed primaries
Original: Bill to end Pennsylvania’s closed primary elections passes state House
A bill to end Pennsylvania's closed primary elections has passed the state House, a step toward letting independent voters participate in party primaries. Currently, only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote in the state's nominating contests, leaving over a million unaffiliated voters on the sidelines. The measure now moves to the state Senate, where its fate remains uncertain.
Why now: Pennsylvania is a key swing state, and opening its primaries would affect voting rights for a large bloc of independent voters ahead of upcoming elections
