Republicans sweep 3 special elections for Pennsylvania House
The Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa.
Republicans are claiming victory and Democrats conceding defeat in three special elections Tuesday to fill empty seats in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
All three seats had been held by Republicans who vacated them after winning elections to county offices last November, and Tuesday's election maintains the 110-93 Republican majority in the state House.
Eric Davanzo won in a Republican-leaning district in Westmoreland County and Tim Bonner won in a Republican-leaning district based in Mercer County, while K.C. Tomlinson won in a district in politically divided Bucks County.
Democrats had criticized the decision by House Speaker Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, to hold the special elections apart from the April 28 primary, and then they criticized his decision not to postpone the special elections after Gov. Tom Wolf ordered a shutdown of non-essential government services to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.
House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny, called the elections a “disgraceful power grab” by Republicans and Turzai, and said the results don't reflect fair elections.
In a statement, state GOP chairman Lawrence Tabas said the elections show the strength of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania and have fortified the party's majority in the state House.

Btw, check her out online..she's real nice to look at too..
They are already crying about it being unfair that Turzai wouldn't reschedule these. They got crushed hard (10+ points) even in the 18th where they thought they had it and were calling it a "bellweather for 2020".
I love seeing the Dems pour money into these and lose. One article said in the 58th the Dem outspent the republican like 4:1

That will hopefully be three more votes to prevent Pennsylvania from becoming the next Virginia.

So the Right side won all of these?

Wowzers. Bucks was the big win too, as that's a split county and the others are solid red.
