Why Anti-Voting Activists Are Using the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Election to Spread Disinformation

Few states’ elections are as important these days as Pennsylvania’s.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election, the swing state was one of several where President Donald Trump tried to overturn the election results with a wave of unsuccessful lawsuits. In fact, Pennsylvania saw more election lawsuits in the last cycle than any other state, according to a Democracy Docket analysis. Because it’s both large and evenly split, pollsters consistently rank it as the single state most likely to tip a presidential contest.

It might be an off-year for federal elections, but there’s still a handful of states holding state elections this year that could have major national consequences. And Pennsylvania, once again, is at the forefront. Next month, voters will head to the polls for a contest that could have huge implications for the future of fair elections in the Keystone State — which means for the next presidential election, too.

They’ll decide whether or not three Democratic state Supreme Court justices should keep their job for another 10 years. The highly contentious race is generating national attention — along with deceptive mailers funded by a conservative mega-donor that lie to voters about the justices’ record in blocking a GOP gerrymander.
