Looks like "We, the People" got another one right. Northampton County Republicans have resoundingly rejected Tricia Mezzacappa and her message of hate in the County Council races.
With 100% of the vote tallied, Mezzacappa came in last place among seven Republicans seeking five nominations. She garnered just 2,200 votes, the lowest vote total of all Council candidates. Even in the West Easton Borough Council race, where she is running unopposed, she attracted only 19 votes. That's less than half of the 41 votes she got in a Republican primary there just two years ago.
It's safe to say that people are giving Mezzacappa a message of disapproval, but she'll try to explain it as something else.
It's just as well she lost because it appears she's going to be busy in Magistrate's Court for the next few months, facing two harassment charges as well as a payment determination hearing after she fell behind on her fines.
The GOP winners in the County Council races are Peg Ferraro (5,033); Hayden Phillips (4,707); Glenn Geissinger (4,508); Mat Benol (4,000) and Seth Vaughn (3,887).
Despite a poor ballot position, Ferraro was top vote getter.
On the Democratic side, the five successful candidates are Deb Hunter (6,893); Ron Heckman (6,468); Jerry Seyfried (5,879); Christen Borso (5,325) and Tom O'Donnell (4,690). Deb Hunter just missed four years ago, and obviously learned from her last campaign.
O'Donnell is half nuts, so I don't know how he got on the ballot.
Updated 1:40 AM: I was unaware of this, but Peg Ferraro yesterday announced, on her Facebook page, that Mezzacappa had mounted a robo call against her. "To my Republican friends in Northampton County...please vote tomorrow. There is a nasty robo call out there against me Tricia Mezzacappa is the culprit. Hate the nastiness to promote herself. Another good reason to know who you are voting for! Please, EVERY vote counts and I need you!!! Thanks from the bottom of my heart!" That smear probably helped Ferraro.

Well I tried...
Mezzacappa will demand a recount. Besides she will have Jim Gregory managing her West Easton race.
I received that robo call yesterday and concluded that Mezzacappa is not just crazy she’s not very intelligent. Mezzacappa positioning herself head to head against Ferraro was the stupidest strategy possible. 2200 votes with third ballot position is pitiful.
Thank God or Bernie , same thing ,that people know how altered she is .
what is scary is that she got that many votes
True. 2,200 idiots who either knew nothing or are as nutz as she. But Dems are just as wacky, picking an incoherent and miserable screwball like O'Donnell. He just had to speak at courtesy of the floor in the last meeting, and Cusick had to pull the plug.
Don't forget that she was in the 3rd position on the line. If she had been below the 5th she would have received significantly less by those tards who hit the first 5 candidates offered.
Her poor showing restores my faith in democracy.
