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.

State Supreme Court Justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht - all Democrats - are on the ballot in a retention election, where voters will decide whether to award the sitting justices new terms on the high court. The polls are open in Pennsylvania until 8 p.m., you can get LIVE RESULTS as they come in:
