HARRISBURG — Pennsylvanians have voted to retain three Democratic state Supreme Court justices, granting them additional terms on the bench after an unusually contentious, multimillion-dollar election.

David Wecht, one of three Democratic justices facing up-or-down retention votes Tuesday, told NBC News that "it's extremely hard to work with a shorthanded court."

The stakes of Tuesday’s election were high: Had Pennsylvanians voted to remove the justices, the state Supreme Court would go from a seven-member court with a Democratic majority to a four-member court with a complete ideological split. The three justices’ vacant seats would not be filled until another election at the end of 2027.
