Republican Wins Pennsylvania Special Election
The Republicans held the state Senate seat in Pennsylvania that I mentioned yesterday, as the Associated Press reports:
HARRISBURG, Pa.--Republican state Rep. David Argall (AR'-guhl) is the apparent winner of a special election to replace Sen. James Rhoades, an eastern Pennsylvania lawmaker who died in a car crash last October.

Unofficial returns show Argall with 62.4 percent of the vote to 37.6 percent for Democrat Stephen Lukach Jr. in balloting Tuesday in the 29th District.
Argall had 20,786 votes and Lukach had 12,551.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
