Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

I've started taking Lyft over Uber. Significantly cheaper for the same rides, especially the comfort sized cars. And you can request a woman or non binary driver, but the catch is only if one is available. All my drivers so far have been men.
