We have officially launched NPP’s independent expenditure get-out-the-vote (GOTV) door-knocking and Election Day precinct program, which will run through November 4. We will be hitting the streets to ensure that voters across our focused regions know to vote YES on the retention election of three PA Supreme Court justices, elected as Democrats, as well as other critical judicial elections on the ballot.

Fellow activist – Let’s paint a picture of why the November 4 Supreme Court retention elections are so important:


In 2018, Republicans in the state legislature drew a map with extreme gerrymandering that gave the GOP 13 out of 18 congressional districts. In League of Women Voters v. Commonwealth, the PA Supreme Court struck down the maps as unconstitutional partisan gerrymandering under the state constitution, and the state Supreme Court ordered the General Assembly to submit a new redistricting plan which led to a fairer congressional map.


During the 2024 PA primary election, two voters had their provisional ballots rejected. In the case of Genser v. Butler County Board of Elections, the PA Supreme Court ruled that voters whose mail ballots are rejected may cast valid provisional ballots.


Also in 2024, the state’s ban on public funding for abortion was challenged. In Allegheny Reproductive Health Ctr v. DHS, the PA Supreme Court ruled that the state statute that bans abortion coverage through the Medicaid program violated the Equal Rights Amendment and equal protection provisions of the PA state Constitution.


In William Penn SD v. PA Dept. of Education, the PA Supreme Court issued a landmark decision ruling that PA’s school funding system is unconstitutional. They alleged that the state failed to adequately and equitably fund public education.


And just a few weeks ago, the PA Supreme Court ruled to uphold a lower court ruling that Washington County election officials violated voters’ rights by misleading them about the status of their mail-in ballots. This means that now county election officials are required to accurately report when voters’ mail-in ballots have been set aside because of disqualifying errors and allow their votes to be counted on provisional ballots.


These are just a few examples of recent rulings by the PA Supreme Court that affect our daily lives and continue to protect our rights and freedoms. With less than two weeks until Election Day, Republicans view these upcoming retention elections as their best opportunity to overturn the Democratic majority on the PA Supreme Court and install a MAGA majority. If they are successful, we can expect to see very different judicial decisions.

That is why Republicans are running a massive anti-retention campaign against three justices elected as Democrats on the PA Supreme Court. These elections will have a massive impact on PA and beyond, and we need to move fast to ensure that voters know to vote YES on November 4.
