Above is an “unofficial” map from Tuesday’s judicial election, but Pennsylvania Democrats pretty much colored the map blue. Continuing on last year’s thumping of Governor Corbett, every county from Monroe, Carbon and Schuylkill down to Chester and Delaware went Democrat. In Chester and Schuylkill, the three republican judges were only able to crack the leadership position; one in Chester and two in Schuylkill.
Here are the results from 2014’s election

| Chester | 51.8 | 48.2 |

The Lehigh Valley is a part of the state that will swing future elections. Question is, will we the Lehigh Valley join the Philadelphia Metro Area and turn the eastern half of Pennsylvania blue?
