Partisan tensions flare in Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention election

On a windy October day in a suburb north of Philadelphia, Republican activist Scott Presler stood outside the Bucks County government center.

Presler and members of his Republican grassroots organization, Early Vote Action, have combed towns across Pennsylvania in recent months, setting up booths stacked with pamphlets and flyers that instruct people on how to fill out their mail-in ballots.

But Presler is not simply working to boost voter turnout in the Nov. 4 election.

Presler is making the pitch to voters to remove three justices on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court: Kevin Dougherty, Christine Donohue and David Wecht.
