I guess when you were posting from your hacienda in Argentina you were too busy herding your cattle to check on AI to see how the ballot was actually set up for that particular issue here in Pennsylvania.
Or maybe you were busy tending your veggy garden in Scotland.
It was not candidate A versus candidate B, it was simply "vote yes to retain or no to not retain" for each of the three justices. Had we voted not to retain any or all of the three on the ballot, at that point Governor Shapiro would have appointed a nominee (or nominees) for confirmation by the Pa. state senate, and down the road there would have been an election, and at that point it would be, as you, in your infinite wisdom stated, "monkeys versus beavers." -

Great!
Thanks for reestablishing the well known rules for me
Now, since you seem to be capable of retaining your programming long enough to parrot it out to someone else, take this little nugget with you on your travels; In Argentina they don't have haciendas, they have bodegas
Now, onto your Pennsylvanian elections not being rigged and how that will ultimately affect the entirety of the US in the future…you do know what they Liberty Bell represents, don't you?

No problem.
I thought you might appreciate that little nugget since, after reading your post, it was obvious that you had no clue (as usual) how our ballots were set up here in Pa for that particular issue.
But feel free to take time off from herding your cattle on your hacienda in Argentia (or tending your little Scottish vegetable garden) and demand that we do a recount on an election in which the results were about 62% to 38%.
But maybe first you should spend some more time on AI and research what the rules regarding recounts here in Pa actually are. -

I've no need for AI, that's for people like you
I'll enjoy bibbing on my malbec and scoffing my haggis, perhaps I'll even have a chortle ever now and then, looking across the pond at these amazing polls which cannot, in so way, shape or form, be messed with ever - unless the result doesn't go the way you want it to of course. Then it's all Russia, China, them Jews!

You are clueless, so as inaccurate as AI can be at times, it might actually help you out.
Stick to herding your cattle out there on your hacienda in Argentina.
unless the result doesn't go the way you want it to of course. Then it's all Russia, China, them Jews!
That pretty much sums up the way you cucks reacted in 2020, doesn't it. -

It would seem that you tried to lump me in with others without my consent
Fascist much??!!
Also, didn't Obama say that there was no way that the elections could be broken or hijacked…and then Trump got elected for the first time?
I remember a whole bunch of snowflakes, turned SJWs, turned Antifa really,
really
thinking that some space laser Jews did something with the TV sets or something…
Lap it up fuzzball, you live in a kangaroo court and love it. I hear Hulk Hogan's coming back for 2028

Donnie The Diddler claims that Prop 50 only passed (64 to 36) because "the voting was rigged."
Do an AI search and find out if it was Venezuelan voting machines or lasers from outer space that did the dirty work and get back to us. -

Soap operas really aren't my thing
But you enjoy yourself, I hope it really tugs at the heart strings and makes you feel elated by the end
The rest of us, those who don't use AI to understand what's been going about since day dot, will enjoy watching as you figure out how futile the entire endeavour is
If, at any point, you want to come join us - feel free to. But keep the potty mouth and the limited intellect within the play area. We don't need to be putting up with that silliness out here

I completely understand retaining the judges, I'd vote to retain them personally
That said, I can also completely understand that the folks who voted Trump in November 2024 sticking to their guns and the outcome being closer to a 50/50 split
But, that wasn't the case
And PA is already in trouble for questionable conduct with vote counting. An ongoing investigation which will, no doubt, show some level of corruption which needs to be addressed
I mean I get it, Pennsylvania has a strong Germanic ethnicity in its population and I can understand a few of them wanting to 'correct the record' the way that a certain national socialist party did back in their mother's fatherland
I just don't think it is just and/or above reproach
NYC, they'll have it all counted to the millimetre. I can trust that they'll be easy to audit and the results will match with the evidence.
Those dodgy PA pollsters though…I can't say I trust em'

I honestly do not know whether or not you are truly residing somewhere outside of the US, but your replies suggest that you don't know how elections seem to historically go here.
Midterms frequently do not attract the turnout of voters that the presidential elections do.
And as far as midterms go, these off year elections garner even less attention than the elections that occur every two years after the presidential elections.
When I went to the polling station for my township, I was actually the only voter at the time. Nobody else showed up when I was filling out my ballot. I live in a red county.
In the area I live in, prior to the election I didn't see any of the usual pre-election signs urging voters to (this time) choose either to retain or not to retain. Which is not to say that there were not any, but if there were some that I didn't notice, it certainly was not like a year when the POTUS is at stake or the two-year elections when the senate or the house is up. Meaning for the average voter, the Pa state supreme court didn't mean a whole lot. And in Pa the gubernatorial election won't be until '26.
As far as expecting a 50/50 split, that would depend upon who showed up. I don't know what the actual statewide turnout was yesterday, but it wasn't high where I am at. Then you have to consider that Donnie's approval rating with the middle and independents is down, so assuming there was a turnout comparable to a presidential election or even a true midterm (which I would bet that there was not a comparable turnout) it might be flawed logic to expect the middle and independent vote to split 50/50.
As far as trusting or not trusting elections in Pa, the Pa senate is now conservative, and it is the Pa house and senate that basically controls the way elections are conducted here. -

Perhaps making sure that the election process itself doesn't have any party bias whatsoever in how it is operated is the way forward to a true democracy
I just wish someone had thought of that way back when the concept was introduced…

Apparently nothing major has been discovered yet.
https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2024/11/pennsylvania-election-fraudulent-voter-registration-investigations-update/
The cursory googles I did on the subject all came back with results that are a year old, but what I am getting out of it is that Donnie was attempting to stir up distrust of the process prior to the '24 election, much like he was doing prior to the '20 election.
Since he won Pa in '24, he either doesn't give a **** anymore or the issues were rectified prior to this '25 election.
If something major had been discovered in Pa, I am pretty sure that I watch the local news enough that I would have heard some mention of it. Ande I am relatively sure that there would have been way more than just a passing mention. -

Soon it will be that AI you keep mentioning
Well, it is what it is, but as I previously typed, I watch the local news enough to know that they thrive on scandals, and a massive amount of election fraud in Pa would meet that criteria for them. -

Here's your AI!
Provide a breakdown of of corruption within recent Pennsylvania elections and how that can affect the outcomes of those elections.
Breakdown of Corruption in Recent Pennsylvania Elections (2020–2024)
Election corruption in Pennsylvania, like in most U.S. states, is exceedingly rare and typically involves isolated acts by individuals rather than organized, systemic schemes. Over the past five years, documented cases have centered on small-scale voter registration fraud, absentee ballot misuse, and double voting—often uncovered through routine audits, cross-state databases like ERIC, and proactive county investigations. According to a Votebeat and Spotlight PA analysis of court records from July 2015 to July 2025, there were only 14 instances where law enforcement confirmed at least one fraudulent ballot was cast out of roughly 61 million ballots statewide. The Heritage Foundation's database, which tracks fraud convictions nationwide, lists just 39 cases in Pennsylvania over the last 30 years across over 100 million votes. No evidence has emerged of widespread fraud altering outcomes in any recent election.
Below, I categorize key examples by type, drawing from federal and state prosecutions. These cases represent a tiny fraction (less than 0.0001%) of votes cast and were swiftly addressed by safeguards like voter ID checks, signature verification, and ballot tracking.- Voter Registration Fraud
This is the most common recent issue, often tied to paid canvassing drives where workers fabricate forms to meet quotas. Motives are typically financial, not partisan, and forms span all party affiliations.
2024 Pre-Election Canvassing Scheme (York, Lancaster, Berks, and Monroe Counties): Seven individuals, including Field+Media Corps director Guillermo Sainz and six canvassers, were charged in October 2025 for submitting ~2,500 fake registrations. Forms featured identical handwriting, fake names, and incomplete data. Prosecutors emphasized this was profit-driven, not election-tampering. Similar probes in Lehigh and Monroe yielded three more charges for forgery and identity theft. None resulted in fraudulent votes, as counties rejected unverified forms pre-Election Day.
2021 Millbourne Borough Mayoral Race: Three officials (MD Nurul Hasan, MD Munsur Ali, and MD Rafikul Islam) pleaded guilty in April 2025 to registering ~35 non-residents, forging signatures, and casting write-in ballots via mail. This local scheme aimed to sway a small race but failed—Hasan lost despite the fraud. - Absentee/Mail-In Ballot Fraud
These involve unauthorized use of ballots, often by family members for deceased relatives, exploiting gaps in verification.
CaseYearDetailsOutcomeMelissa Fisher (Quakertown)2020Submitted a mail-in ballot for her deceased mother.Misdemeanor conviction in 2022; one invalid vote.Bruce Bartman (Montgomery County)2020Falsely registered and cast absentee ballots for his deceased mother and mother-in-law.Criminal conviction; two invalid votes.Robert Richard Lynn (Philadelphia)2020Used deceased mother's credentials for an absentee ballot.Misdemeanor conviction; one invalid vote.Cheryl Mihaliak (Lancaster County)2022 PrimaryForged and submitted ballot for deceased mother.Convicted on two counts; one invalid vote.Philip C. Pulley (Montgomery County)2020–2022Multiple fraud offenses, including unauthorized absentee voting.Sentenced January 2025 to 3 years probation, $9,500 fine, and 100 hours community service (50 focused on election integrity).
These affected fewer than 10 ballots total across millions cast. - Double Voting
Rare cross-state incidents, detected via ERIC.
Matthew Laiss (Bucks County, 2020): Voted by mail in PA after moving to Florida, then in-person there. Charged September 2025; faces up to 5 years if convicted.
Miya Pack (Philadelphia, 2024): Voted early in NJ and on Election Day in PA. Charged September 2025; one invalid vote. - Other Incidents
Fulton County Voting Machine Breach (2021–2023): Two Republican commissioners allowed unauthorized access to 2020 machines for fraud probes, leading to contempt sanctions and decertification threats. No fraud found; it eroded trust but didn't alter votes.
Historical Echo: 39th Ward Scheme (Pre-2020, Prosecuted 2021): Ex-Congressman Ozzie Myers bribed poll workers to stuff machines. Convictions in 2021; irrelevant to recent outcomes but highlights ongoing vulnerabilities.
How Corruption Affects Election Outcomes
Direct Impact: Negligible to None
Scale vs. Margins: PA's 2020 presidential race was decided by ~80,000 votes (Biden over Trump); 2024 by a similar slim margin (Trump win). Confirmed fraud cases total <50 invalid votes—far below thresholds to flip results. Experts, including Trump's former AG Bill Barr, affirm no widespread
