Tuesday is the primary election for Pennsylvania Supreme Court candidates, and GOP voters could decide the future of the Pennsylvania Republican Party by choosing between a centrist and a right-wing candidate.

Four candidates, two Republicans, and two Democrats, are running to fill the open seat vacated by the late Chief Justice Max Bear, a Democrat who died in 2022. One candidate from each party will advance to the general election in November.

The state Supreme Court swiftly overturned her ruling, and President Joe Biden went on to win the state by 80,555 votes. "I am the only candidate who has handled and upheld the constitutional rights of the people in critical matters concerning election integrity, limiting the governor's COVID mandates, upholding the Second Amendment , congressional redistricting, constitutional challenges to state laws, taxes, environmental issues, and more," McCullough said in an April interview with the Legal Intelligencer.

Carluccio did say that she was concerned over the"conflicting, and sometimes unclear" regulations surrounding mail-in voting, but she has never questioned the outcome of any election.
