Dems were able to flip the 36th state senatorial district from Red->Blue in the special election yesterday.
This district was +15 Trump in November.
They also held the state house.
The PA GOP (and all of us frankly) have to get on the ball or we're sunk at the state level in the 2026 election. Our tiny majority in the state senate is the only thing keeping use from becoming NJ gun-wise.

Fuck.

Maybe post this in GD where it might get some more visibility.

Democrat won by 482 votes. I'm curious to how the turn out was.
I always tell people don't skip primary elections. They are usually very important, but most don't get out there.

Seat was held by republicans since the 70s.  

Ballotpedia says redistricted in 2022 but I don’t see that referenced anywhere else.  If ballotpedia is correct then this was first election since, and the new district according to that site includes more of Lancaster proper.

Turnout was light being a primary.  54k votes vs the last general when 92k voted for the republican.

More analysis.

Very unfortunate and preventable loss.

Would need to see a map of the new district and what parts of lanco. May need to get on the Amish again to make the special elections.

In the North Central PA counties I am seeing an influx of Amish fleeing NY.

Losing this Senate seat in this special election and the superior court seat last primary, is not good. Also Josh Prince not making the primary to the court seat was a bummer as well.

Remember, It called "redistricting" when the dimocratats do it. It's called "Gerrymandering" when republicans do it........................

This.

The Amish have been very good to us. In '15 they assured no recount and Trump was the clear victor.

Is western PA voting pro-2A, or anti?

Western PA means a lot to me, and I
want it to protect our God-given rights.

As long as that gangster is in the governors mansion, there will be cheating.
