HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democrats have an opportunity to strengthen their hold on the Pennsylvania House as voters cast their ballots in Bucks County. The suburban Philadelphia district has been leaning more Democratic. A Republican lawmaker’s resignation last week shifted the balance back to Democrats. Voters are deciding Tuesday between a Democratic school board member and a Republican political newcomer in the election. The vote will either strengthen Democrats’ numbers or deadlock the chamber 101-101 again. The Bucks County seat has long been reliably Democratic. It shares a county with longtime Republican areas where the GOP has been losing power over two decades.
