If you’re riding PATCO, you may experience some trouble at the fare machines. The transit agency says it’s dealing with a credit and debit card outage, which means riders can’t buy tickets electronically right now. Some passengers are getting messages saying the cards are invalid.

To make matters worse, PATCO’s customer service phone lines are also experiencing disruptions due to technical issues. The transit agency is asking riders to message them directly on social media for help instead of calling.

Officials say crews are working to fix the problem, and updates will be shared online as soon as service is restored. In the meantime, riders are urged to bring cash or use a preloaded Freedom Card.

In Pennsylvania, voters will decide if three state Supreme Court justices will keep their jobs: Justices Kevin Dougherty, David Wecht and Christine Donohue.

All three are Democrats, giving the court a 5-2 Democratic majority. If they lose, the court could be split 2-2 for two years. This would impact fights over voting rights, redistricting and election laws impacting mail-in ballots for midterm elections and the 2028 presidential race.

If they are voted out, Gov. Josh Shapiro would nominate temporary appointees, but there's little chance the Republican-controlled Senate would approve them.

If retained, Dougherty and Wecht would serve for another 10 years. Donohue, though, would have to retire in 2027 because that's when she'll reach the mandatory retirement age of 75.

Philadelphia voters today will choose the district attorney, city controller and a slate of Common Pleas and Municipal Court judges. KYW Newsradio’s City Hall bureau chief Pat Loeb reports.

The Bucks County DA’s race is one of the premier races in the suburbs this Election Day. KYW Newsradio's suburban bureau chief Jim Melwert takes a look.

The Pennsylvania budget stalemate could force a Bucks County school district to close its schools. The Morrisville School District is warning that this could happen by the end of January if it does not receive funding.

In a letter to parents, the superintendent says, in part, that the district has done everything it could to stretch its resources.

Delaware County's William Penn School District issued a similar warning last week.

Both school systems say more than half of their operating budget is funded by the state.

The University of Pennsylvania said the FBI is now involved in the investigation of a cybersecurity breach last week.

In a statement, the university said it is “working with law enforcement as well as other third-party technical resources to address this as rapidly as possible.”

The security breach came to light on Oct. 31 when a profane, inflammatory email was sent from Penn’s Graduate School of Education.

A hacker has taken credit for the breach. In an interview with the website Bleeping Computer, they claim that their access reached deeper into Penn’s systems, including donors’ and students’ personal information. To prove the cyberattack, they published nearly two gigabytes of information allegedly selected from those files.
