Democrats have kept control of the Pennsylvania state house by the slimmest of majorities–one vote–after Heather Boyd won a special election for the 163 District in Delaware County to fill a vacant seat in a strong “blue” area, the Associated Press reports.  A Republican won a different special election in a deep red district in the central part of the state to keep the majority at the razor’s edge.  In other election news:

• In something of an upset, Democrat Donna Deegan was elected the ninth mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, typically a conservative stronghold, becoming the first woman to lead the city.  Jacksonville has only had a Democratic mayor for one four-year term since 1993:  in 2010, at the height of the Tea Party movement, Alvin Brown won a narrow victory, less than a percentage point.  Deegan won by four percentage points.
• Though Trump-endorsed Daniel Cameron won the GOP nomination for North Carolina governor, another MAGAt lost in Kentucky:  Mike Lindell-endorsed Stephen Kipper lost the GOP primary for Secretary of State.
• Patricia McCullough is on course to lose her Pennsylvania Supreme Court race in the Republican primary.  McCullough became a MAGA hero as a lower-level judge when she issued a stay about the state’s certification of the 2020 election, an order that was promptly overturned by the Pennsylvania supreme court.  Democrat Daniel McCaffery will take on Republican Carolyn Carluccio for the bench seat, where Democrats have a 4-2 majority with the final seat vacant.
