| Description | ... Justices Newman and Nigro could become the first appellate judges to be rejected by the voters. Plus, the court itself still is under assault for rubber stamping what the Legislature does and, therefore, not upholding the constitution. These issues resonate with some voters.

Central Pennsylvania and southwest Pennsylvania will weigh in heavily, and these two regions harbor festering anger over the pay raise.
Election Night forecast: A nail-biter that reveals less about the candidates on the ballot than about the voters' state of mind heading into the crucial gubernatorial and legislative elections next year. If one or both justices lose, Pennsylvania, beyond doubt, has embarked on a new age of populist protest. |
