Pittsburgh voters face a big choice this November: not just who should be the city's next mayor, but whether to retain three state Supreme Court judges. That decision could shape whether Democrats or Republicans control PA's highest court and affect major rulings on everything from election law to abortion access. SpotlightPA's Stephen Caruso joins executive producer Mallory Falk to explain what's on the ballot, what's at stake, and why dark money is pouring into these judicial retention contests.

The deadline to register to vote in the next PA election is Oct 20.
