How did a Dem incumbent lose the Erie state senate seat when Hillary carried it? Did the Dem incumbent get indicted or something?
Honestly, it was one of the surprises of Election Night, but the Republican challenger did his utmost to tie the Dem incumbent to his vote in favor of keeping disgraced Attorney General Kathleen Kane in office. Add to that the fact that this seat was a top GOP target, and the fact that Hillary’s win in this district was far from overwhelming, and you end up with the flip. Was definitely a surprise, though.
IIRC - Republican was relatively moderate on social issues too...
