Doom...
Oh, stop. Shapiro is going down in 2026. He has abandoned the State for his Govenortotlral ambitions.
Republicans have been out here acting like they won forever. it doesn’t seem like that at all to me. I’m not saying all doom but they better start working because the deck is stacked against them.
We fought like h*** in 2024 and due to Trump's charisma, we were able to pull it off.
We need to have the same urgency for '26 and '28.
I bet the turnout was single-digits.
Garrity is a great Canidate , not like that baboon Masteeano. Taxes and aforitablity will be huge issues next year.
He has 2 things that will prevent that, he is Jewish, and he is not radical enough...
The Democrat party in the US will go down in history as the biggest criminal organization in the world.
When Trump (or an equivalent) is not on the ballot, many Republicans are simply just motivated enough to go out and vote. There’s no fire in the belly.
And with judges? There’s even less motivation.
Don’t get me wrong. This Pennsylvania judicial election was important, very important! But too many Republicans didn’t see it that way.
Tragic, really.
Sorry. First line in my #10 should read:

Oh, but he has moved left. He ran as a moderate problem solver. ThecState has no budget and taxes are going up.
It was an off-year election. Turnout was key, and the AWFULs turned out.
Most voters couldn’t name the judges and wouldn’t be able to say why they should be tossed out.
Slate. Uh huh.
Was it one of those Keep Them Or Not ballots?
In that case, Keep wins big everywhere.
People don’t get worked up over judges that are appointed.
Was it an actual race with 2 candidates?
Doom is right. But I don’t blame the republicans. So many of our citizens have gone dark after years of brain washing.
More democrat cheating.
This is always how elections like this go.
Republicans won big in 2024. Most of those people went to sleep believing their work was done.
Democrats are bitter because they lost in 2024, so they they have challenger energy.
Democrats turned out. Republicans stayed home asleep.
That’s basically what happens all the time in these inter presidential election periods.
Republicans had basically no game, and honestly people are mad that very little seems to be happening from them.
Mail-in + absentee ballots
1,298,412 ballots requested
1,152,000 ballots returned & counted (88 % return rate)
That’s 40 % of every vote cast in the entire election.
Democrats used mail 3-to-1 over Republicans (same split as 2024).
> Most voters couldn’t name the judges and wouldn’t be able to say why they should be tossed out.<
Right. The Founders envisioned a country where you could personally meet with the various candidates, and listen to what they had to say. And maybe even ask a few questions.
Now each candidate represents hundreds of thousands of people. These candidates often gets lost in the crowd.
I really don’t know how you could fix that.
