Pennsylvania’s primary is Tuesday: Ballot issues, judicial races and more
Today 12:00 PM
Beyond a slew of local races on ballots, Pennsylvania’s primary election on Tuesday will determine the future of a governor’s authority during disaster declarations and a Republican nominee aiming to keep a state Supreme Court seat in GOP hands.
Voters statewide will decide four separate ballot questions, including two that ask voters whether to give state lawmakers much more power over disaster declarations, whether the emergency is another pandemic or a natural disaster.
The ballot questions were penned by Republican lawmakers and emerged from a long-running feud with Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf over the extent of his orders to shutter businesses and schools during the pandemic.
