My Election Day Stories

I'm beginning to think I made a mistake. Below is a list of my election day stories. There are 19 of them. Feel free to add your perspective in the comments.

    That's true Bernie - the Big story is our council members will now be called commissioners. Breaking news...

    Write in votes will be canvased beginning Friday, and the several hundred that were cast by both R's and D's in UMBT may indicate not a "sea change" but the beginning of a turn of the tide. Developing story.

    Bernie: Your blog entitled: NorCo Council Race: Everybody Wins! could be misleading. Everbody does not win. The citizens of Northampton County are wrought with enduring of Tara Zrinski still being around. That fails to be a win for Everybody!

    I know Mr. Guridy was ahead last Tuesday night, but here are the current vote totals from the Lehigh County official site, as of 3 pm Thursday, showing Mr. Tuerk won. There might be a few provisional ballots, but not enough to change the outcome.

    Ce Ce Gerlach 1,802
    Ray O'Connell 1,933
    Matt Tuerk 2,048
    Julio Guridy 1,907

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
