Tonight let us recognize Speaker Joanna McClinton, who for 42 months held together an ideologically diverse Democratic caucus to maintain a one-vote majority in the PA House. Surely one of the most talented legislative leaders in the country. Finally she has some breathing room.

A factoid that will blow some minds - PA-03 results with white-majority wards EXCLUDED: 🥇 Chris Rabb - 34,647 - 36.80% 🥈 Sharif Street - 33,220 - 35.29% 🥉 Ala Stanford - 24,437 - 25.96%
PA-03 including only majority-minority wards

So what happened? Street won West Philly, but Rabb won Center City by even more. Meanwhile, Stanford held up pretty well, limiting Street's margin in his best wards. And progressive wards posted huge margins for Rabb.

With the eyes of the nation on PA-03 (my district), I'm gonna do a thread on each candidate's path to victory and how I'll be looking at the returns tonight Full disclosure that I canvassed for Chris Rabb in this race, but as PAMaps I'm aiming for objective analysis

With 42/44 precincts reporting, Republican Andrea Verobish will be the next State Rep for Altoona and its environs. She leads by 15%, an underperformance of around 17% compared to Trump '24.

I'm exhausted by all the efforts to rewrite the history of the 2022 US Senate primary in Pennsylvania, with folks insisting "we told you so!" as to Fetterman, that Conor Lamb was always the better choice, and generally ignoring Malcolm Kenyatta's historic candidacy. So let me say a few things. 🧵1/

The races for PA Commonwealth and Superior Court have gotten surprisingly little attention. Those are hugely important and are likely to be much closer than the retention votes. If you need any more motivation to cast a ballot, here it is.

The last time Lancaster County elected a Democrat to the Pennsylvania Senate was in 1889, when John S. Hoover won a special election. 136 years later, James Malone joins the club.

With all precincts reporting, Democrat James Malone leads by 0.89%. Keep in mind, SD-36 completely excludes the City of Lancaster. It's the once reliably-red suburbs, exurbs, and small towns that have flipped this district.

Pennsylvania Maps @pennsylvaniamaps.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
I'm ready to call it: Democrat James Malone has FLIPPED SD-36. It will be the first time in who knows how long that Lancaster County has elected a Democrat to the State Senate.

Pennsylvania Maps @pennsylvaniamaps.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
Solid batch for Dem. James Malone. 89/120 precincts in and he's beating his benchmarks by about 1% on average. Rep. Josh Parsons needs to do several points better the rest of the way to catch up.

Pennsylvania Maps @pennsylvaniamaps.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
With 68/120 precincts reporting in SD-36, Democrat James Malone is beating his benchmarks in 42 precincts, and Republican Josh Parsons is beating his in 26. My model says we're headed for a close race, with Malone having a slight edge at the moment.

Pennsylvania Maps @pennsylvaniamaps.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
Another way I'm looking at PA SD-36 results so far: Dems lost this district by 12% in the 2023 Supreme Court race. In the 5% of precincts reporting election day votes so far, the Dem is overperforming that result by 15%.

Out of the three Harris district Republicans in Congress, one has clearly proven himself as the best (when it comes to overperforming), Brian Fitzpatrick in #PA01. Despite Harris carrying his suburban Philly district, Fitzpatrick easily won re-election last year, winning by 13!

Last year in #PA08, we saw Democratic incumbent Matt Cartwright lose re-election to Republican Rob Bresnahan by about two points. This NEPA district has been trending to the right in the Trump era and Trump winning this district by 8 was probably enough to cost Cartwright.
