Wisconsin Is the Most Important Race in the Country in 2023 (April 4th

In November 2015, Pennsylvania voters -- with a lot of Republicans sitting at home, not paying attention, and a lot of Democrats showing up -- chose three judges who ensured that Democrats would have the upper hand in the state once again. Kevin Dougherty, Christine Donohue and David Wecht, all Democrats, were elected on the same day.

It was a win that changed everything in Pennsylvania. The newly activist court would go on to rip up and redraw the congressional districts to favor Democrats, years after they'd been drawn and weeks before petitions were due. They would also change voting rules during the pandemic as to how mail-in votes were accepted -- a decision that made many conservative voters believe the system was rigged to favor Democrats in 2020.

That decision also cost Republicans their majority in the state House when a committee carved numerous state House districts to blatantly favor Democrats.

Ask Republicans now how they feel about not investing in Pennsylvania in 2015, and they will candidly admit they blew it. That decision not to invest outside money for ads and staffers caused an activist Democrat-controlled court to run amok.

“That decision also cost [Pennsylvania] Republicans their majority in the state House when a committee carved numerous state House districts to blatantly favor Democrats.”

She doesn’t mention it, but that same gerrymandering is also very likely to cost the GOP control of the state Senate after the 2024 elections and give 100% control of PA government to Democrats. We’ve been seeing lately what new-found 100% Democrat control can do to a state government in Michigan and Minnesota; PA is likely to be next to descend into tyrannical Democrat hell.

Republicans have a 28-22 advantage in the Senate at the moment, but the gerrymandering alone is going to cost 3-5 seats in 2024 even assuming that GOP turnout is NOT swamped by Democrat turnout + Democrat fraud which will be the key to flipping a few marginal districts in eastern PA.

Those 28 GOP Senators are hardly conservative; in fact nearly ALL of them are moderate squishes. But they represent our last remaining check on the otherwise unlimited power of Nazi Joshie Shapiwo and the black-robed communists of the PA Democrat Supreme Court.

Here in PA we have a chance in November to replace a deceased ultra-liberal Democrat with a Republican on the Court. If successful, the new partisan balance would be 4 Democrats, 2 Republicans (in theory) and 1 squish who calls herself a Republican. If not successful, the balance stays the same with 5 ultra-liberals.
