This doesn't make any sense. Pittsburgh-area Dem state house rep resigns to run for county executive, leaving the state house in a tie with the GOP.
She won the Dem primary which is the only election of any consequence in Allegheny County. She would win in November if she didn't campaign at all.
Democratic Speaker Joanna McClinton immediately scheduled a special election for Rep. Sara Innamorato's Allegheny County seat for Sept. 19, a week before the House is expected to return to session.
In November, Democrats flipped the number of districts needed to control the House at the start of the session. It was their first claim to the majority in 12 years, with a 102-101 margin they have since maintained through several special elections.
With Innamorato's resignation, the partisan breakdown now sits at 101-101.
A text message seeking comment was left for Innamorato.
House Republican spokesman Jason Gottesman described her resignation as an effort by Democrats to "gerrymander the membership of the House" to maintain their power. He said it would have a significant impact on resolving the budget negotiations.

Democrats have used their newfound power this year to advance a number of the caucus’ priorities, from gun control efforts to broader protections for LGBTQ+ people. But the Legislature remains politically divided, with a firm Republican majority in the Senate.
Her departure makes it more difficult for Democrats to advance measures on party-line votes.
The philosophical divide in the Legislature turned especially unyielding this month; the state government has gone for weeks without full spending authority due to a battle over education funding that has soured budget negotiations. The stalemate could persist until the chambers return to business after Labor Day.
Innamorato is running to serve as the Allegheny’s county executive. She won a contested Democratic primary for the race in May, as part of a progressive slate in local elections. She’ll face the lone Republican primary contender, Joseph Rockey, in the November general election.
Another Democratic Rep. John Galloway, of Bucks County, is running for district judge, meaning the Democrats will face another race with the majority at stake.

What is a county executive?
Sort of the mayor of the county. There is an elected council also.

There was a meme(can’t find it) that said when the Left tries to cancel /offended by something it goes #1. When the right does it, the company loses 40B.
Fine, but Erie is one of the more corrupt counties in the state so they'd better get some Republicans in there as judges of elections and counting ballots.

This is why Trump lost. He has great local support, but does not have the local ground game in the elections posts to protect his interests. Seems like the Reps generally do not, or their folks are capable of being bought.

He's right, but that's nothing new. All Republicans do is talk. Useless as a political party.
Even in red states and counties most of the lower-level election workers are Democrats because it's what they DO.
Republicans, philosophically, tend to not want to be bothered by government which is why the lower levels are dominated by Democrats.
Tibf@ck can’t meme.
