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.
Who is going to police the admi8nstrstion who spends a lot of time in that office. They have a vested interest in the results. Don't trust them with this count. Hope they don't interfere and stay away.

DeleteOn a side note, Keegan's husband lost bid for re-election to Easton School Board. He's the lesser danger of the two but is in the more powerful role. I speculate that many of the votes against her husband were votes against her. Her social media posts are those of an arrogant, intolerant bully and I think Ed took the fall. She also ran her campaign and conducted Forks Twp business while on the clock AS A SCHOOL NURSE while her husband sits on the school board. That didn't help him either. She'll have a tough race if she's challenged in the fall.
ReplyDeleteCanvassing is done, precinct by precinct. There is majority and a minority inspector. The process occurs in public. There is no doubt in my mind that it will occur fairly and honestly. AI suspect Rowe got the R nod in D1 unless Kraft has a lot of GOP friends. He fight. A lot of trade union people are Rs. I doubt Keegan won the GOP write-in. I doubt she has many R friends. So I do expect to see Rowe and Myers win the write in. In Myers' case, I suspect it will be just barely.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised there was only 299 write-ins for District 2 race. I don't believe Myers pulled the 250 needed. Shame on the Republicans for not finding somebody for the race prior to the petition deadline.
ReplyDelete299 is pathetic when you're pushing a write-in candidate countywide. That's an average of less than 2 per precinct. And, however many Myers has, the bulk likely came from Palmer and Easton polls.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 4:17,
ReplyDeleteMyers was not pushed countywide. He was running for District 2 (Easton, Palmer, Forks, Tatamy, Wilson, West Easton, Glendon, Stockertown). But, I agree that 299 is still pathetic.
I'm not surprised District 2 only getting 299 write ins. After Myers switched parties he did nothing to help himself, except if you think lumbering around one poll on election day for 5 minutes was going to do it.
