The2020 Pennsylvania Republican presidential primary took place on June 2, 2020, as one of 7 contests scheduled for that day in theRepublican Party primaries for the2020 presidential election.
Even though theRepublican National Committee mailed Pennsylvania voters encouragingmail-in voting, describing it as a "convenient and secure” option, most Republicans expressed opposition to the prospect. Earlier, the Republican-controlledHouse blocked a proposal to mail every Pennsylvanian a mail-in ballot application. This was in response to President Trump's skepticism of the practice, expressing concern mail-in voting may result invoter fraud that would potentially benefit the Democratic Party.[2]
