Jack, over the weekend the Chief Justice of Pennsylvania Max Baer passed away. Baer helped give Democrats the majority on the state's highest court.
In Pennsylvania, the governor appoints a successor with a Senate confirmation. At this moment, the governor is a Democrat and the state Senate is controlled by Republicans. It is possible that Republicans take a page out of Mitch McConnell's playbook and delay until after the elections—hedging their bets that a Republican becomes the next governor and that they hold on to their majority in the Senate.
In the coming years, it is likely that state Supreme Court justices will rule on major issues like abortion, gerrymandering, voting rights, and environment protections. What's more, come 2024, Republicans will once again try to steal the election if it doesn't go their way. State Supreme Courts will be crucial xxxxxxs against allowing that to happen.
This is a great example of why it's not enough to support just one candidate, but we need to turn out the vote for all Democrats, up and down the ballot and a really good reason why you should support Daily Kos' Get Out the Vote campaign.
There are fewer than 36 days until Election Day and Daily Kos is leaving absolutely nothing to chance. We have already recruited over 40,000 GOTV volunteers. Daily Kos is utilizing innovative tools like Vote Forward and Mobilize to connect our volunteers to a wide variety of statistically proven get out the vote opportunities: writing letters and postcards, making phone calls and sending texts, knocking on doors, contacting friends and family, becoming poll workers and assisting with election protection efforts. We do this at a scale few other organizations can match.
Jack, we need your help. Can you donate $5 right now to help Daily Kos recruit volunteers to connect with Democratic voters in Pennsylvania?
