Activists’ ballot-application challenges fall apart
Local activists’ challenges to hundreds of mail-in ballot applications across the Philadelphia suburbs ended last week without having a single challenge upheld. Last month, challengers alleged 212 applications in Chester County, 319 in Montgomery County, 191 in Bucks County, and 143 in Delaware County came from voters who either moved […]
Kyle Sammin: Democracy dies in daylight as Democrats break the law to help Casey
The Washington Post has been telling us for eight years now that Democracy Dies in Darkness. Anyone who watched the proceedings in Bucks County this week knows that’s not true. It dies in broad daylight. As we all know by now, Republican Dave McCormick came out on top in the […]
Where Trump did and didn’t gain votes in Philadelphia
Pennsylvania is a swing state but Philadelphia is very much not a swing county. While the commonwealth has flipped back and forth for the past four election cycles, its largest city has not voted for a Republican President since 1932. But even so, changes in Philadelphia affect the rest of […]
Beth Ann Rosica: Mr. Trump, please use your superpowers for good
A letter addressed to President-elect Donald J. Trump following his election win. Mr. Trump, I write to you as a person who reluctantly voted for you for the first time last week. It is also the first time in my 39 years of voting that I blackened an oval for […]

Thom Nickels: A day at the polls
I’d been working the polls as a Republican committee person in my Old Richmond neighborhood for about four hours when a neighbor, a woman, walked up to me after she voted, looked me up and down — especially at my red Trump hat — and said without blinking, “Do you […]
No concession for Casey in Pennsylvania, yet
(The Center Square) – Pennsylvania’s incumbent U.S. senator just isn’t ready to let go. Bob Casey Jr., denied a third term in Washington by voters exactly a week ago, still hasn’t conceded the race to Republican challenger Dave McCormick, even as the former hedge fund manager heads to Capitol Hill […]
Andy Bloom: Kamala didn’t close – and here’s why
Democrats are engaged in a circular firing squad. The finger-pointing, blame game, recriminations, and despair are being shared publicly and privately. We’ve been there. Republicans engaged in similar exercises in 2012 and to a lesser degree in 2008. The difference is that Republicans weren’t enthusiastic about Romney or McCain. In […]
