The Democratic State Committee endorsed candidates for the Commonwealth Court and the Superior Court over the weekend. Here are some additional details--
Final Endorsement Tallies for Superior Court
First Ballot: Robert Colville 93 votes, David Wecht 200 votes (Unofficial). Robert Colville withdrew his candidacy and seconded the endorsement of David Wecht. No Second Ballot was cast. David Wecht won the Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee endorsement for Superior Court by acclamation.
Final Endorsement Tallies for Commonwealth Court
First Ballot: Kathryn Boockvar 191 votes, Barbara Ernsberger 62 votes, Todd Eagen 25 votes.
