Updated: Three Lehigh County Judge Races Will Be Decided in November

Blogger's Note: Originally published 1:20 am, and updated to reflect MIBs. 

Although mail-in ballots must still be tallied, it is clear that Lehigh County's three open judgeships are headed to the general election. 



On the Democratic side of the ledger, the top three candidates are  Maraleen Shields (12,381), Zachary Cohen (12,287) and Rashid Santiago (8,033). Pat Fuentes Mulqueen (7,930) trails Santaigo by 103 votes. . 




Republicans appear to have made their choices. Tom Caffrey (13,404) leads the pack, followed closely by Tom Capehart (13,137). Dave Ritter is a distant third (10,424)..

Mulqueen is in striking distance on the Democratic side once canvassing begins.

Post a Comment

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.
