In the wake of last year’s massive voter turnout, lawmakers across the country have proposed hundreds of bills to reform how their states conduct elections.

Since Pennsylvania is a “closed” primary state, voters registered as a Republican or Democrat may only vote for candidates in their respective party.

The legislation, SB 241, would make a number of sweeping changes to Georgia’s election code, most notably cracking down on who is eligible to vote by mail.

Although most legislative sessions are just getting underway, the Brennan Center for Justice, a public policy institute, has already tallied more than 100 bills in 28 states meant to restrict voting access.
