Heads up, Pennsylvania! On 8/30 or 8/31, the court will hear oral argument on the lawsuit filed by @fsfp & @naacp to enjoin @PAStateDept from using touchscreen voting machines as a primary in person voting system due to concerns about #COVID19. @KathyBoockvar 1/

There are additional problems with touchscreen voting machines.

The lawsuit also seeks to require the recruitment of poll workers and to enjoin polling place closures. A new PA law would allow officials to close up to 60 percent of polling places, which would be a disaster, especially given the GOP’s assault on the Post Office. 5/
