Just some quick thoughts on yesterday's election...
It will be interesting to see the turnout numbers. With few contested races and in a primary, I'm surmising turnout wasn't great. I passed several polling places while working and on my drive home. I didn't see a lot of activity.
In the presidential race, a lot of people voted for candidates who have already withdrawn. Both remaining candidates should take note of that. There is a protest vote and a lot of angry voters.
Eugene DePasquale wins the Democratic nomination for attorney general. No surprise. He's won state wide office and has name recognition. By the way, the candidate who touted how much the gun lobby hates him finished last. Dave Sunday wins on the Republican side.
Malcolm Kenyatta wins the Democratic nomination for auditor general. Again, a candidate who entered the race with strong name recognition and a solid base.
Fern Leard easily gets the Democratic nomination in the 120th. She did have a lot of signs out yesterday. Signs don't vote, but they do indicate cash to spend and a strong organization. Brenda Pugh gets the Republican nomination here.
We heard about some glitches in the morning, and it appears Luzerne County avoided yet another catastrophic election day failure!!!
On to November!
