Philadelphia #voters on Tuesday will fill two vacant state House seats in #specialelections, and in both cases a #Democratic #candidate is the only person running.
Philadelphia voters are filling two vacant seats in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. In both cases the Democratic candidates are the only ones on the ballot.

Keith Harris is seeking Bullock's seat, and Andre Carroll is in line to succeed Kinsey. Harris and Carroll also face no opposition on the ballot in November for full two-year terms. The state House has a 102-101 Democratic majority, counting the Bullock and Kinsey seats. Polls are open from 7 in the morning until 8 at night.

@Susan_Larson_TN Interesting. Thanks for posting.
If folks fantasise about fascism without reference to history, I guess it can look appealing as long as you're a member of the favoured group, ie white, protestant and preferably male. In your fantasy it means holding onto privileges/ dominance that you feel are under threat by a movement towards equality ( wokism?) and the downsides of fascism will only happen to other people.
