It’s not often where you see former elected state officials once highly critical of each other come together to promote an issue but ensuring Pennsylvania voters have safe ways to participate in the November election is one of those rare exceptions.

All five of Pennsylvania’s living former governors – Republicans Tom Corbett, Mark Schweiker, Tom Ridge and Dick Thornburgh and Democrat Ed Rendell – have teamed up with a bipartisan group of former elected officials and political party bosses and others to launch a statewide campaign to advocate for secure mail-in ballots and safe in-person voting sites amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
