(Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!)
HARRISBURG, Pa.- Republican Joan Orie Melvin won an open seat on the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday - reclaiming a GOP majority
there and leading her party to victory in most of the other appellate
court contests on the statewide ballot.
With returns from 99 percent of the state's 9,310 precincts, Melvin
had 938,272 votes or 53 percent to Democrat Jack Panella's 822,335
votes or 47 percent.
Republicans also won at least two of the four open seats on the
Superior Court and both open seats on the Commonwealth Court.
Melvin did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment, but a
Panella campaign spokesman blamed a low turnout in the Democratic hub
of Philadelphia as a major factor in his defeat.
