Ballots are starting to arrive in mailboxes around the state. I put together this spreadsheet comparing 2026 with 2022 and 2024 — broken down by party, county, state House, state Senate, and congressional districts — which I'll be updating M-F between now and Nov. 3. Link👇

In honor of legendary journalist John Baer, the Pennsylvania Legislative Correspondents Association has renamed its summer journalism internship program.
It's now the John Baer Legislative Reporting Internship, where student journalists get to work for 12 weeks every summer in the Capitol alongside the professional reporting corps that covers it daily.
It's a paid internship, supported by donations and volunteerism.
You can support future interns in honor of John, who spent many years helping to fundraise for the program one former intern called "an experience you can brag about, and I certainly have."
Here is where you can donate:

Exclusive: Earlier this month, the Supreme Court blocked an executive order restricting voting by mail in ways that could have thrown the upcoming midterms into chaos. But the White House originally had far more disruptive plans, ProPublica has learned. 🧵

After further reporting by @NataliaECG, we now know this error affected at least 200,000 should-be Texas voters. What a mess.
🚨 🚨 An unknown number of voter registrations weren’t sent to Texas counties. This will likely worsen any registration processing backlogs across the state ahead of the midterms. Https://www.votebeat.org/tex…

The Trump admin is preparing for the ‘biggest DOJ election observer effort in history.’
I asked @GovernorShapiro and @GovWhitmer for their reactions today.

Friday’s ruling is not expected to lead to any widespread removal of voters before the November election because federal law prohibits election officials from systematically unregistering voters within 90 days of an election.
