Rep. Bryan Cutler of Lancaster in a lawsuit filed late Friday asked Commonwealth Court to issue an injunction against special elections his Democratic counterpart scheduled this week.
, Democrats won a net of 12 seats in the November election, barely enough to retake control of the House, 102-101, after more than a decade in the minority.
Cutler's lawsuit argues that DeLuca's death before the new session began Dec. 1 means Democrats "cannot claim to have ever had a majority of 102 living members or more members than the Republican Caucus." The Democrats have 99 members and the Republicans 101 who are expected to participate in swearing-in day on Jan. 3, with practical control of the chamber up in the air.
