President Judge Craig Dally has denied a request from county Democrats to extend polling hours at Bethlehem Ward 3 until 10 pm. This is the Banana Factory precinct and has been swamped by Lehigh students eager to cast a vote. Waiting times were as long as six hours, according to the New York Times. But Dally, a Republican, refused to extend hours because all voters in line at 8 pm "will be able to vote in accordance with Pennsylvania jurisprudence."

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.
Good. You had all day to vote. Even longer with on-demand mail-in voting. Stop cheating, losers!!
ReplyDelete...and that is as it should be!
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't these students casting absentee ballots in their home districts? This is nuts!
ReplyDeleteFair. Two weeks of voting and anyone in line by 8 got to vote.
ReplyDeleteYou mean the 1500+ not registered for that precinct that was allowed to vote?
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many voted in their home state, and voted again in PA.
