My Election Day Stories

For the past decade or so, I worked as an election judge on elections day. I stopped because it's a very long day and  it's impossible to do that and update you with 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.

Bernie:
You missed the big story...County Council got their wish and will now be Commissioners.

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
