Pa.’s primary lessons

- By Tom Shortell

Between an unpreceden­ted pandemic, the first major change in Pennsylvan­ia election law in 90 years and a massive wave of social unrest, the June 2 primary proved to be a major task for voters, candidates, election officials and political parties.

To help answer that question, The Morning Call reached out to party officials, political observers and county election officers to see what lessons were learned and what to expect in November.
