State Superior Court race too close to call

HARRISBURG — A four-way contest for two open seats on Pennsylvania’s statewide appellate Superior Court remains too close to call.

With 89percent of precincts reporting at 11:30 p.m., a Republican, Chester County prosecutor Megan King, and a Democrat, Philadelphia Judge Daniel McCaffery, were in the lead, each with more than 25 percent of the vote.

They were trailed by Democrat Amanda Green-Hawkins, a longtime steelworkers’ union lawyer from Pittsburgh, and Republican Christylee Peck, a Cumberland County judge.

About 35,000 votes separated the top three votegetters — McCaffery, King and Green-Hawkins out of more than 4.4 million cast. The 15-seat court handles civil and criminal appeals from Pennsylvania’s county courts.
