On the ballot for the Nov. 4 election are a bunch of judges, two candidates for District Attorney, and — maybe most importantly — three Supreme Court justices, who are up for what’s known as “retention.” If they win, they keep their seats and Democrats will continue to control Pennsylvania’s court. If they lose, changes could be on the way on everything from abortion access to election law — potentially affecting congressional and presidential elections for the near future. Mallory Falk from our sister podcast City Cast Pittsburgh talks with SpotlightPA's capitol reporter Stephen Caruso about this race here in the Commonwealth and why so much money is involved.
