PA SUPREME COURT

Pennsylvania voters are being asked to decide whether Supreme Court justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht— all Democrats — should be retained in their roles. It’s a simple yes or no vote.

Voters will decide in November whether Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht should receive new 10-year terms.

Retention votes occur every 10 years after a justice’s initial election and continue until an office is vacated or the mandatory retirement age of 75 years old is reached. Because Donohue, Dougherty and Wecht are all on the ballot at the same time, it threatens to shake up the 5-2 Democrat majority on the state’s High Court, which could soon weigh in on issues like elections and mail voting, congressional maps, the legality of skill game machines, and abortion rights and public funding for abortion.
