— In an election outcome nearly as dramatic as the Legislature's vote to repeal the pay raises it approved just four months ago, Pennsylvania voters denied state Supreme Court Justice Russell M. Nigro another 10-year term in what citizen activists portrayed as more evidence of citizens' disenchantment with state government.
Nigro became the first statewide judge to be turned out of office in a yes-or-no retention election in the 36 years such elections have been held.
