I recently blogged that the PA Senate and PA House voted to defer the Judicial retirement ballot question from the May primary to the November general election. Thereafter, it was widely reported in multiple news outlets that it was a done deal. Well maybe not. Three Democratic Senators, Jay Costa, Daylin Leach and Christine Tartaglione filed a lawsuit to obtain an injunction to keep the question on the May primary ballot. There reasoning in part being that multiple people have already voted by absentee ballot on the ballot question.
Today the Commonwealth Court is hold a hearing on the request for Preliminary Injunction. As soon as a decision is issued I will report on it. So right now we do not know if the ballot question will be voted on in the May or November elections.
