Scott Perry's Hometown Paper: Candidates giving Pa. a black eye

York Dispatch

York Dispatch editorial board

When it comes to national politics, Pennsylvania is in an enviable position. Its role as a swing state means presidential candidates can take neither its voters nor the issues that are important to them for granted.

And the state’s U.S. Senate campaigns — with their ability to throw the body’s balance of power either left or right — likewise attract outside attention. Candidates and their surrogates visit; campaigns fill local airwaves and news pages with their messages; voters get the information they need and the attentiveness they deserve.

It is, in short, a welcome spotlight.

And it is very unlike the kind of national attention the state has come in for lately, courtesy of a pair of election-denying Republican lawmakers tethered neither to the needs of state residents nor, evidently, reality.
