PA tied election decided in random draw

Turn PA Blue

This week, a Democrat won a TIED election in PA! Every vote really does count.

Tied elections have happened before.

In 1826, Federalist John Sergeant and Jacksonian Henry Horn tied at 1,597 votes for Pennsylvania’s 2nd District, resulting in no winner. Sergeant was elected to Congress in a subsequent special election.
And, in 2017, Republican David Yancey defeated Democrat Shelly Simonds in a tied 11,608-11,608 election by a random drawing that ensured Republicans held the House of Delegates with a 51-49 majority.
Our crucial swing-state organizing depends on supporters like you – and we won’t take a single vote for granted ahead of a democracy-defining 2024 election.

At Turn PA Blue, we get PA Democrats OUT TO VOTE with canvassing, postcards, texting, and phone calls. Donate to sustain our work today.

Nonpartisan elections observers agree – Pennsylvania is a TOSS-UP in 2024.

Authoritarian Donald Trump is threatening to end democracy if he seizes power again, exacting revenge on his enemies.

Every single vote counts – and we need your help to get EVERY Democratic vote we can.
