HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania is making the most significant changes to its election laws in 80 years and helping counties buy new voting machines ahead of next year’s presidential election. Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf signed the bill Thursday, two days after it passed the Republican-controlled Legislature handily. Wolf says it’s taking the nation’s least voter-friendly election laws and putting them in line with states that have the highest voter turnout.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s chief elections official wants the state Supreme Court to overturn a lower court’s ruling that prevents the state from immediately counting or certifying results in next week’s referendum on a victims’ rights constitutional amendment. Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar filed an emergency order late Thursday that argued the ruling a day earlier by Commonwealth Court Judge Ellen Ceisler will suppress voter turnout and “foment irreparable uncertainty” among voters.

The hottest costume for Halloween this year – at least here in the Pittsburgh area – turned out to be the infamous sinkhole bus. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, by now you’ve heard about the Port Authority bus that got stuck in a sinkhole in Downtown Pittsburgh just days before Halloween. The bus has since been extracted and an investigation to determine how the ground caved in is underway. But some Pittsburghers decided to get particularly creative and used the situation as inspiration for some very unique costumes last night. Yes, many locals dressed up as the bus in the sinkhole for Halloween and many of those costumes can be found on social media.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says Democrats are abusing their power and discrediting democracy by “trying to impeach the president because they are scared they can’t defeat him at the ballot box.” The California Republican is speaking out against a package of impeachment rules approved Thursday. McCarthy says that ever since Donald Trump’s election, Democrats have waged a “permanent campaign to undermine his legitimacy.”
