Stop Republican Voter Fraud in the PA House

Pennsylvania Republican legislators have voted repeatedly to force people to present identification cards, ostensibly to prevent non-existent voter fraud.

Finally, real examples of voter fraud have been uncovered. According to the Associated Press (July 2, 2015):

"Leaders of Pennsylvania's House Republican majority are being recorded as "yes" votes on a key budget-related schools bill, even though they weren't in the House chamber for the vote.

"A House GOP spokesman said Wednesday that precedent allows representatives to vote, even if they're absent to deal with legislative business.

"At the time of Tuesday night's vote, House Speaker Mike Turzai, Majority Leader Dave Reed and Appropriations Committee Chairman Bill Adolph were at a news conference in the Capitol, along with at least eight other GOP representatives whose votes were recorded."

At least 11 PA Republican State Representatives committed this voter fraud in clear violation of their own rules, which state:

"No member shall be permitted to vote and have his or her vote recorded on the roll unless present in the hall of the House during the roll call vote."

Please sign our petition demanding an end to this blatant case of voter fraud.

We demand that the Pennsylvania House of Representatives enforce its own rules against voter fraud. If a Member is not present s/he should not be able to cast a vote. This fraud must stop.
