Pa Soldier Vote Bill To Be The Best
Harrisburg April 12 Pennsylvania moves to set up a soldier vote system touted as the nations most liberal. Governor Martin and leaders from both parties agree on broad absentee voting by automatic ballot mailing to all in the armed forces and allied components with extended return times and simplified registration by affidavit. A bipartisan committee devised the plan, a $300,000 special session is expected to wrap in a week, and local officials will receive lists for ballots. The measure aims to let most of the military vote in the November presidential election, with broad support from both parties.
