Everything you need to know to vote in the Nov. 7 general election – Pennsylvania Capital-Star (penncapital-star.com)

In November Pennsylvania voters will choose a new state Supreme Court justice, two Superior Court judges and one Commonwealth Court judge.

•   Judge Daniel McCaffery, who sits on the Superior Court, is the Democratic nominee for Supreme Court. Montgomery County Judge Carolyn Carluccio is the Republican nominee.

• Attorney Jill Beck and Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Timika Lane are the Democratic nominees for Superior Court. Attorney Maria C. Battista and Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court Judge Harry F. Smail are the Republican nominees.

•   Philadelphia Municipal Court Judge Matthew Wolf is the Democratic nominee for Commonwealth Court; and attorney Megan Martin is the Republican nominee.

…the state Supreme Court takes only a fraction of the cases it is asked to consider.

In cases where the Supreme Court declines an appeal, the decisions of the Superior Court or Commonwealth Court stand and may be used to decide the outcome of future cases.

…The Supreme Court is routinely called upon to decide electoral issues, such as the maps that delineate congressional and state House and Senate districts and whether they are gerrymandered to benefit one party or the other.

…Pennsylvania is one of only seven states where Supreme Court justices are elected in partisan contests.

…Since Chief Justice Max Baer’s death last year, the court has had two Republicans and four Democrats.”
