Democrats are hoping to keep their 5-2 majority on the Pennsylvania state supreme court, with three justices who ran as Democrats up for re-election through retention. If they lose, Gov. Josh Shapiro will appoint replacements, to be confirmed by the Republican-controlled senate, which could lead to deadlock on the court.

The stakes of Tuesday’s election were high: Had Pennsylvanians voted to remove the justices, the state Supreme Court would go from a seven-member court with a Democratic majority to a four-member court with a complete ideological split. The three justices’ vacant seats would not be filled until another election at the end of 2027.
