Of the two lower court retentions, Lawrence County voted "No" for one and "Yes" for the other.

In Lawrence County tallies, of the three PA Supreme Court retentions, Christing Donohue fared a bit better than the two males, but she still came up short 49.4% to 50.6%.

The two lower court out-right elections saw each of the Republican candidates win by about 14,500 to 9,500.

Voter turnout was at its usual weak level for an off-year election. The MAGAs were energized to come out in strong numbers as compared to the Dems.

Lawrence County's current trend to favor Republican candidates over Dems remains significant. However, with the close margin in the retention votes, there is hope for us Dems that the tide turning a bit.
