The Down Ballot reports:
Democrats pulled off an astonishing upset in a special election for the Pennsylvania Senate on Tuesday night, as East Petersburg Mayor James Andrew Malone defeated Republican Josh Parsons by a 50-49 margin to flip a district Donald Trump carried by 15 points last year.
Those toplines, however, don’t tell the complete story of just how ancestrally Republican Pennsylvania’s 36th District is.
Since taking its present form in Lancaster County 40 years ago, the district has always been held by the GOP, and the county as a whole has gone for a Democrat at the presidential level just once since 1856 (Lyndon Johnson just barely won it in 1964).

A Pennsylvania State Senate district that Trump had won by 15 points just flipped blue tonight.
This is how it’s done. Run everywhere. Run down ballot.
Focus on local elections ASAP – from school board to councils to state legislatures.
We build from there.
Great job PA! 👏🏽 https://t.co/lTbOQW7xrZ
