Passionate Pennsylvania college students tell lawmakers they want open primaries. Watch the video senatorboscola.com/students-from-…

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

Someone made a baseball movie montage and it actually deserves an Oscar. Thank you to whoever made this.

“Young people, like ourselves, view their college years as an opportunity for self-discovery.” Two Students for Ballot PA chairs speak up as to why they deserve the right to vote in primaries as independents. Read more➡️: penncapital-star.com/commentary/wer…

What’s Ballot PA been up to? Hear @Committeeof70’s Pat Christmas tell all about how the fight to repeal closed primaries and let EVERY voter vote continues!

Thank you, @SenRobinsonPA, for meeting with fellow veteran and BPA Vets Co-chair Rocky Bleier. We’re grateful for your time and consideration of our call to repeal closed primaries!

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?

TODAY: Election reform advocate and renaissance man Kent Thiry is discussing his work bringing open primaries to Colorado w/ John Opdycke! Tune in at 1pm: openprimaries.org/virtual-discus… @OpenPrimaryUSA @uniteamerica

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

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…

"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, @senatorlaughlin, for your words in @BroadAndLiberty! 👇 broadandliberty.com/2023/03/31/sen…

Great organization!
