Letter to the editor: Retain our judges to save our democracy
This is an urgent SOS to every single American who knows the threat President Trump’s unchecked power poses to our freedoms and democracy. Our battleground is the state that has been indispensable to the very founding of our country and the preservation of American freedom and liberty for over 249 years: Pennsylvania.
Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the state Supreme Court is responsible for preventing the GOP’s extreme abortion bans, rolling back voting rights and allowing the presidential election to be stolen in 2020.
Without this critical buffer, Pennsylvania would no longer be a swing state. MAGA has already attempted to abolish mail-in voting, and if they win on Election Day, in my opinion they will be given the green light to steal Pennsylvania and cheat their way to a permanent victory.
That’s why the MAGA billionaires have been working at a fever pitch to turn this obscure 2025 judicial race into the victory that sets the stage for their biggest ambition yet: Trump 2028.
Don’t let the billionaires buy our Supreme Court. Vote “yes” to retain our judges.
