PA election day thread [View all]

Statewide elections for open State Supreme Court seat (retiring justice Saylor is an R) and Commonwealth Court (could flip 2 R seats to D) and one seat on Superior Court.

Otherwise, local and municipal elections including mayor of Pittsburgh.

In my township, a contentious school board race is the top draw. My township is very Republican, but interestingly on the ballot were Ds unopposed for two auditor positions. In my precinct, the judge of elections and inspector of elections, positions that normally don't even have candidates who bother to file to run, have unopposed Ds. Presumably Rs will write-in their candidate, but lots of people will just vote for the name on the ballot. I'll count it as a win if all 4 are elected over R write-in candidates.
