Republicans who Control Pennsylvania's Legislature are offering Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf a choice to help Counties afford New Voting Machines before Next year's Presidential Election.

Republicans offered Legislation Wednesday Night in the House of Representatives to Authorize Borrowing up to $90 Million to help Counties Underwrite a Total Replacement Cost could Exceed $100 Million.

They Ordered Counties to Buy New Voting Machines that produce an Auditable Paper Trail, something supported by Election-Integrity Advocates and Computer Scientists.

But Republicans Packaged the Borrowing Authority with Changes to Election Laws that Democratic Lawmakers Oppose.

One Provision Eliminates the Ballot Option for Voters to simply Select a Straight-Party Ticket in Elections.

Democrats say that'll Benefit Republicans in Down-Ballot Legislative Elections.

Republicans say it'll make Elections Fairer for All Political Parties.

I have always been against Straight Ticket Voting.

Straight-Ticket Voting or Straight-Party Voting is the Practice of Voting for Every Candidate that a Political Party has on a General Election Ballot with a Single Selection.

Straight-Ticket Voting was a very common occurrence until around the 1960s and 1970s.
