Judge of the Court of Common Pleas maps coming your way! Within these maps, and for each candidate, any precinct shaded in blue means that the candidate finished in the top eight, and any precinct in any shade of gray means they finished ninth or lower. The darker the shade, the lower they ranked.

haha same 🤞, I was told it shouldn’t be longer than a week, but well see!

Opinion | Democrats Need to Face Why Trump Won The Democratic pollster David Shor walks through what voter data reveals about the 2024 election — and how the American electorate is shifting.

I'm going to stake out the apparently-edgy-onhere position that the voter shifts described by David Shor here are real, & should be cause for genuinely difficult rethinking of strategies based on no-longer-accurate assumptions about the 'rising American electorate' www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/o...

Allegheny County has counted every (unchallenged) provisional, military, overseas, mail in and election day ballot that is eligible to count.

Deluzio win in western Pennsylvania keeps swing district in Democratic control • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Deluzio’s reelection to a second term representing the district that includes parts of blue Allegheny and red Beaver counties was not a given.

We need to study and learn from this win.

Deluzio is a CPC member who won by 7.5% in a swing district by running agressively pro-labor pushing corporate accountability and stopping greed to protect workers, consumers, and his local communities.

A lot to learn. penncapital-star.com/election-202...

Lol she lost by 17.5%
