Related: About this forumDems sweep special elections, take control of PA House
https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-local/2023/02/07/pennsylvania-house-special-elections-allegheny-county-results/stories/202302070094As expected, Democrats swept all 3 special elections held on Tuesday giving them a 102-101 majority in the state house. These elections filled the seats vacated by Summer Lee, who was elected to Congress; Austin Davis, who was elected LtGov; and the late Tony DeLuca who was elected posthumously.
Dems winning the majority in the state House was the most unexpected result from the 2022 election in PA.

At least for the next two years, the kooky constitutional amendments the Rs were set to pass for the 2nd time this session won't happen.
