7:49 am: Very small turnout at Allentown Fairgrounds polling place at 7:00 am. There's a Lehigh County Commissioner candidate (Jon Irons) greeting voters and handing out palm cards promoting the "People's United Platform" of Gerlach & Bushe for City Council and Irons for County Commissioner paid for by Friends of Ce Ce Gerlach.
8:16 am: Bethlehem - Slower than normal for early birds. Ken Kraft has worker looking for R write in (guess he really doesn't want Bill Rowe on ballot).
For City Council Ricky Butler and write in candidate Jim Follweiler were there.
9:36 am: (Joe) Just voted in Walnutport borough (apx. 9:15 a.m.). The place is a ghost town.
9:49 am: My experience was great. I walked to a post office about a mile away two weeks ago on a sunny day.
I put my ballot in the slot and walked home.
10:19 am No problem voting. Dropped it in the mail last week. Next day, got email that my vote has been received. Remember Democrats, vote early and often and harvest plentiful!
11:58 am: Easton, slower for sure. People at the polls are all friendly getting along. Ken Greene was here, and have seen Sal vols. A Frank vol and Crystal was also here. Wonder if it will pick up after work?
1:15 pm: Anyone looking for write in votes watch what works are telling those who ask for help. Poll 14-2 in Bethlehem, a woman was told to vote then come back and ask how to write in by the poll worker, the judge caught it but was too late for that voter. In 14-3 a D voter was told they couldn't write in a R under D page, that voter made clear to worker, they can write in anyone they choose. Thanks Bernie for this forum.
3:04 pm: I voted at Bushkill. It was totally dead. Not one person in line. Nadeem was there but curiously did not approach me. I must look like a Republican lol.
4:36 pm: One campaigner outside West Easton. Husband of a write-in candidate for Wilson Area School District Board who said his wife wanted to stop Critical Race Theory being taught in schools. I gave the card back. How soon before she would ban books that mention Trail of Tears, slavery, the KKK, and the civil rights movement if she wins?
5:17 pm: Quick in and out to vote in Easton across from Giacomo's on College Hill. Poll workers said it had been pretty slow all day. The number of signs from some candidates outside was obnoxious. Volunteers for Sal Panto and for Ken Greene outside - the Ken Greene volunteers asked if I voted for him as i was leaving and I told them I didn’t. Crystal, Lance and Kurt got my city council votes!
5:55 pm: Voted at 5:30 4th Ward in Easton. Was #111, poll workers said it was average turnout but they were expecting more because of the weather.
6:05 PM: Also, had 3 women outside wearing Sal shirts and Timothy Reillys wife was there asking to write him in.
6:12 pm: Roseto slow. I was 121 at 5:00.
7:08 pm: SS Shiloh - uneventful - Panto, Greene, Brown, Pintabone

It must be said, vote early and vote often.

It takes a lit of nerve for Gerlach to even run after taking a runaway minor to a tent city. Bushe told me he had filed his report when in fact he had not.

Brian Panella literally punched me as I stood in line to vote for no reason.
1:15, Poll workers only work two days a year, and some of them will give bad info without realizing it. You can write in whomever you want.
1:20, lol. I'm sure.

Bernie: Are you no longer a judge of elections?

Republican-by-day Democrat-by-whenever-convenient Terence Houck showed up at the Wesley church polling station and scared away all the women and children
