HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A wide expansion of mail-in voting in Pennsylvania has survived a legal challenge brought by some of the same Republican state representatives who voted for the legislation nearly three years ago.

The law fell out of favor with Republicans as former President Donald Trump attacked it during his losing 2020 reelection campaign.
