PA GOV 2022: Stick a fork in it
Epaminondas:
How many PA state senate seats did Shapiro carry?
I wouldn't be surprised if it was 30/50.

It's too bad all state senate seats weren't up this time. I think we may have had a chance at that chamber as well?

There are like three pick-up opportunities for the Dems in 2024. There's the new Harrisburg seat which is a safe flip, and the Erie and south Allegheny seats which will be highly competitive. Meanwhile defense for Dems comes down to the east Allegheny and Reading seats.
Winning the southwest Bucks, north Montgomery, and Monroe County seats, or even the Lehigh-Bucks seat would have made lives way easier for them in 2024.

Note the east Allegheny seat got much bluer in redistricting from its narrow 2020 result, and Lehigh Bucks wasn't seriously targeted. I personally think the three up in 24 are more likely flips then any of the above, given self-reinforcing downballot lag and local incumbents, but that doesn't make the fight for control in 24 any easier.

Luzerne County BOE voted to not certify its results. Despite having a 3-2 D membership, Schramm voted to abstain, citing that "he wants to know what happens if the vote is not certified."
