When I voted at 11 AM in Nazareth's second ward, I was the 100th voter. Elections workers tell me turnout was heavier than expected for a municipal primary. How's the turnout in other Lehigh Valley precincts?
Update at 2:40 pm: In a Morning Call article entitled "Lehigh Valley voter turnout slow so far", Lehigh County's registrar of voters tells us turnout is "busier than I anticipated." Northampton County's voter registrar claims 15% of eligible voters had already voted by 1 PM. Party leaders had predicted a 15-17% turnout, but it appears that the current pace may exceed those expectations. We'll see.

I hope Fleck wins, It will be nice to laugh at Easton instead of Allentown for 4 years!
ReplyDeleteThe joke is on you, Hershman will win, and be controller!

ReplyDeleteup in the west wards and the hill. down in the south side.
I was in the 60's when I went to my precinct. That compares to about 250 votes cast in 2004.
ReplyDeleteI was voter # 270 in Upper mac 4, there are 600 supervoters in #4, and they are predicting 350.
ReplyDeleteyou online? what the hell's your email?
ReplyDeleteBernie's definitely MIA. Buddy Christ must've decided to keep him locked up in the can a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Conrad Blowhard going down in Nazareth. He can have closed meetings with himself now.
ReplyDeleteFleck loses
ReplyDeleteHello everybody! I'm back! I was at the polling center in Easton, where I was watching the inner workings of an election return. Very interesting! But contrary to popular opinion, it's not the place to be if you want to know what's going on.
ReplyDeleteMy email addy, for the person who was asking, is BOHare5848@aol.com
Good job Bethlehem voters! A bunch of incumbents who've already proven their inadequacy, and an inexperienced kid who soon will!
ReplyDeleteBERNIE!
ReplyDeleteThe fumes from the bathroom must have gone straight to your head. You might want to recheck the email addy you posted.
LVH!
ReplyDeleteSorry! That's the email addy I give to my creditors. My correct email addy is BOHare5948@aol.com. Mea culpa.
Anon 11:42, who were you supporting? I guess you should have worked harder for your candidate. Donchez is fine councilman. Mowrer is a very experienced public servant. Reynolds is a young refreshing change for council. If Reynolds learned anything from Steve Samuelson, Bethlehem is fine.
ReplyDeleteHere is the real question will Upper Macungie Vote for a Democrat???
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:19, It might vote for Chris Casey, who happens to be a Dem. Just like Dems like me will vote for Charlie Dent or Ron Angle, who happen to be Republicans.
ReplyDeleteyour not a suburban or rural voter party loyalty seems to trump common sense out here.
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:34!
ReplyDeleteRarely have I been so insulted ... at least today. I have no common sense.
the last time i check Nazareth was a boro
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:46, You're absolutely right. Nazareth is a borough. But please don't ever accuse me of having common sense. I can take all sorts of things, but not that.
ReplyDeletethere is honestly little risk of that
ReplyDeleteever happening again
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteFunny, that's the email I give to my creditors, too. I hope you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteNo problem!
