Join Patrick Murphy: Stop the Disenfranchisement of Pennsylvania Voters

Join Patrick Murphy: Stop the Disenfranchisement of Pennsylvania Voters

The Issue

Gov. Corbett and his Tea Party allies want to silence voters that might disagree with them.  

That’s why they’re pushing a plan to restrict the voting rights of hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians. In the name of preventing fraud, the plan creates unprecedented barriers for eligible voters – most of whom have been voting for decades.

But the “fraud” doesn’t exist. From 2002-2007 the Bush Administration studied over 300 million votes cast looking for fraud. They found issues in less than .00003% of votes and no allegations of fraud.  

The truth is Gov. Corbett and his Tea Party allies want to silence voters who disagree with them. Stand with Patrick Murphy today and demand the legislature say NO to restricting voting rights in PA.
