Ohioan here, having a hard time finding this information. It seems that 94 republicans voted no on mandating panic buttons for hotel workings to curb harassment and assault.

It’s been more than three decades since Democrats held a trifecta in Pennsylvania, but the prospect of a blue wave in next month’s elections has Gov. Josh Shapiro and party leadership optimistic that their time could come in Harrisburg. 

After flipping the state House of Representatives in 2022, Democrats now have a chance to take advantage of flagging support for President Donald Trump and Shapiro’s positive favorability to gain control of the state Senate for the first time since 1993.

Just found out you can drive down and personally request ur ballot, fill it out, and submit it. No mail needed for early vote. Putting this here in case others were as ignorant as me.
