Three swing states will hold elections to their supreme courts over the next 18 months, potentially altering court compositions amid key cultural and political flashpoints,,
Between 2023 and 2024, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan will hold elections for several seats on their supreme courts
...
In Pennsylvania, which will hold the earliest of such elections in November 2023. Democratic Superior Court Judge Dan McAffrey is running against Republican county judge Carolyn Carluccio for a vacant seat on the court, which is currently split 4-2 in favor of Democrats.
The race so far has been defined by abortion, with McAffrey, the pro-abortion candidate, regularly emphasizing his endorsements from women elected officials — launching a “Women for McAffrey” drive as part of his campaign — and other pro-abortion left-wing groups, including Planned Parenthood, whose endorsement he has highlighted on his website. “We need someone who will be a champion for all the rights we care about,” said Pennsylvania House Speaker Joanna McClinton, a Democrat, in a video endorsing his candidacy — a code for his pro-abortion inclinations.
The court’s current Democratic majority has already entertained left-wing legal challenges. “The court has granted review on a petition seeking to invalidate the state’s preemption of local gun control ordinances … [u]ntil recently, [the petition’s] legal theory would have been viewed as implausible, if not downright meritless,” said Leider.

I predict The Filthadelphia machine will vote by mail in numbers far greater than registered voters
110% turnout in some Filthydelphia precincts in 2016 but the York and Lancaster Amish came out in even stronger honest numbers and beat them onest!
I was confused for a minute because I'm not used to Amish meaning Amish around here.
Pale-faced Amish.
“Clip-clop, clip-clop....BANG”
Amish drive-by shooting.

Part of the problem is that it never mentions party when we’re asked whether or not to retain a certain judge.
Requires a lot of research.
There are a few candidates who refuse to cross-file on the basis of personal integrity.
Kelley Margetas, (R-York) running unopposed for the Court of Common Pleas is a stellar example.
She could had taken “the easy way” and cross-filed (D) but refused to compromise or confuse.
IN PA the aborts (dem and PPOOOOOPPPPPIE republicans) will win.
Nothing to do with philly. Aborts are suburban dem and republican females that tell their husbands how to vote.
true that so my rule was don’t vote for the italian names.
