and was near-unanimously approved by both chambers (except I think one Republican in the Senate and a couple Democrats) and mainly because Democrats wanted the no-excuse mail-in voting (which I never ever expected to happen and would attend the telephone townhall meetings done by my (D) State Senator and even asked about it, and I knew what the answer would be) AND Republicans wanted to get rid of the straight-party ticket voting option. And those 2 items were the "compromise" for passage. With that, it sailed through and was signed by Wolf in October 31, 2019.
But then after the 2020 general election and those results, despite them having zero problem with Act-77 during the primaries, and even waving away the law's stipulation that allowed a Constitutional challenge of the law as written that was required to happen within 180 days after it was signed (because the GOP wanted straight-party voting gone but never anticipated that COVID-19 would blow up like it did), suddenly the GOP hated Act-77, and have been trying to do everything they can to kill it.
