Did Davis and Lee both run for two offices and win them both? How are they still in the PA house while they were just elected to new positions?

You can run for two offices simultaneously, they both ran for and won reelection in their current state House Districts

EDIT: To clarify a bit further, they wouldn't have to vacate their current office until they are sworn into their new positions in January, but I think they resigned from both now to have the special elections completed sooner.

That sounds like something that shouldn't be allowed, since it has the potential to create situations like this.

You should only be able to run for one office at a time, and you should have to resign from your previous office to run for another office.

This business of running for 2 concurrent offices is a pet peeve of mine. Pick one. In this instance, them running for 2 has created an unnecessary situation.
