Beaver county has voted for Dems recently. Tom Wolfe and Josh Shapiro, iirc, both won. And the county elected a Dem DA two years ago.

Here are the other "yes" counties:
Allegheney
Berks (which has a big Hispanic population)
Beaver
Bucks (might be bad news for Brian Fitzpatrick)
Centre
Chester
Columbia
Cumberland
Dauphin (Harrisburg area)
Delaware
Erie
Lackawanna
Lancaster
Lehigh (might be trouble for the R House incumbent)
Luzerne
Monroe
Montgomery
Montour (1 of 3 won)
Northampton
Northumberland (1 of 3 won)
Philadelphia
Pike
Union
Washington
Westmoreland (it wasn't really close)
York (2 of 3 won)

Even the counties where "no" won, the vote was much closer than usual where the counties in the "T" generally give Rs of 35+ points.. The most interesting vote was the one in Westmoreland, which is very conservative where :"yes" won by about 6k votes for each retention candidate. That should put a scare into Rentchenthaler.

The two seats Rs flipped in 2024, PA-7 and PA-10 both voted for :yes". With the votes in Cumberland and York counties, Perry could be in trouble.
