Thank you, Allegheny County! Tonight, you spoke loudly and clearly. Our fundamental values are not up for debate. Our Democracy is not optional. Our rights are not to be questioned. I heard you, and the leaders of our county have heard you.

I’ve seen enough: Dems will win the two open statewide judicial races in addition to Supreme Court retentions in Pennsylvania

Sububan Philly's Montgomery County mail votes are 85-15 for SCOPA retention

Jeff Yass seriously thought that the most effective way to build a coalition to oust Justice Dougherty was by going after his Ideology and not the whole “Family Member No. 4” deal? Consultants letting their ideology get in the way of their job is a bipartisan problem

The retention winning in a landslide isn’t surprising at all. The no campaign was the worst campaign I’ve ever seen and it was an uphill fight anyway. But we could be looking at a “win everything competitive plus some other stuff that was totally off the radar” territory

WOMP WOMP WOMP

Is it too early to be feeling that 2023 feeling?

Blame the Voters all you want (always a great strategy.) Miyares behaved like a hyperpartisan Republican for his entire tenure in office including the closing weeks of the campaign. Perhaps voters don’t find someone like that to be a paragon of decency

Imagine being so bad at your job and as a campaigner that you lose to someone who fantasizes about children dying.

The Election Law Follower has logged on!

Carolyn Carluccio very narrowly won Chester County’s EDay vote in 2023. +- 1,000 votes. Wouldn’t expect polls being open late to have much effect one way or another.

More importantly: it’s going to be very funny

a bunch of titans of media, industry, tech etc claimed this guy as an existential threat to everything you hold dear and you decided the best guy to take him down was a former governor who resigned in disgrace and just got clocked by him. Yeah you deserve this outcome

I’m not a huge Mamdani fan (as I said in the primary and is true today I’d reluctantly vote for him) but watching reality hit all the Rich Guys who Think That Makes them An Expert on Everything tonight On Here is going to be absolute poetry

still plenty of time to return

As someone who genuinely believes in “Vote Blue No Matter Who” (with exceptions for beyond the pale candidates) as a binding coalition principle it’s funny to see people who claim to subscribe to this but are voting for Andrew Cuomo or writing in Ed Gainey today

@dakaner @jjabbott Blood red counties are particularly susceptible to this possibility. Funniest possible outcome

If Yes wins SCOPA tonight, a big gripe will likely be PAGOP operatives and donors gassing up their base for No then abandoning them in the end. It’s kind of unbelievable how they screwed their grassroots folks — it’s the kind of betrayal that could push Mastriano to run.

Pop Crave centering SCOPA retention more than CNN you love to see it
