Eckhart Ahead in Lehigh County Exec Race

Though Glenn Eckhart ran basically as a sacrificial lamb for the Republican party in Lehigh County's Exec race, he's poised to upset incumbent Phil Armstrong. With 99.4% of the precincts reporting, Eckhart has 33,001 votes while Armstrong has 32,848. They are separated by 153 votes. This is too closeto call, but as I warned in an earlier post, Armstrong took this race too lightly.

  3. As of 5 minutes ago, this doesn't seem to be the case. Armstrong is not leading, per the county website.

  4. Eckhart has always impressed me as a vigorous campaigner, since he knocked on my door 10 (??) years ago in a primary race.

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.
