‘Red Wave’ Continues to Fizzle: Pennsylvania Dems Flip State House for First Time in a Decade
Over this past week, attorneys for Democratic and Republican candidates in close races have been haggling over remaining provisional ballots, largely in Bucks County’s 142nd and Montgomery County’s 151st state House districts. An attorney for both Democratic candidates in these racesthat Republicans’ strategy was to disqualify as many ballots as possible through “really ticky-tack challenges that are being filed opportunistically to try to disenfranchise Democratic voters.
In a true testament to how every vote really does matter, around the end of last week, the Democrat in the 151st district was up by just 12 votes; at the start of this week, only a few hundred ballots remained to be counted. And now, with Democrats narrowly in control of the state House for the first time since 2010, they’ll be led by the chamber’s first woman speaker, Joanna McClinton.
