Primary Day! Did you vote?

[femmocrat]

Turnout seems very low here (District 14) I voted around 11:30 a.m. and was number 62. It's a small rural precinct though. There were no signs, no one handing out reminders, nothing. At first I thought they must have moved the polling place!

Ho does it look in your neighborhoods?

[livetohike]

1. Yes and am working at the polls in our rural precinct.

We have had 27 voters and 5 of those are our election team! Very slow and thunderstorming now .😕

[femmocrat]

3. Not much interest in this primary!

Who are your candidates for Congress?

[livetohike]

4. Susan Boser and Wade Jodun. Was CD5 and now CD15.

My Rep is Glenn Thompson (R-sheep).

[femmocrat]

5. Sorry, I'm not familiar with those names.

I'm in the district that had the big special election (Conor Lamb) so I think people don't realize they have to vote again!

[livetohike]

9. We were all just talking about there hasn't been much

information on any of the candidates. No mailers or phone calls. I follow Susan Boser on Facebook, otherwise I wouldn't know anything.

[femmocrat]

27. Boser won!

So many women won! Great day for PA!

[livetohike]

30. Such a great night for us Dems!! Susan has an uphill

battle in this CD. Even with the new map, the Republicans outnumber us 3:1 here . Another woman (Kerith Strano Taylor) fdropped out of the race a couple of months ago when the new map was released. She said there was no "path to victory" with the new map. She has run twice before this and won the Dem nomination but lost the general by 30% points. It's Pennsyltuckey up here.

2. out and voted this am

wasn't real busy in our rural area

[meow2u3]

6. Yes, I voted

I'm in the new CD-7 and when I was there to vote, I was the only one.

I saw literature posted on the wall reminding voters of election laws.

[femmocrat]

7. I couldn't even find a sample ballot in advance!

They were posted on the outside doors. I didn't know about all the committee people until I got to the machine. I didn't know any of them anyhow. LOL

[yortsed snacilbuper]

8. Yes,

for Wolf, Casey and Fetterman.

[femmocrat]

16. Same here. How about Congress?

Any good democrats?

[romana]

10. I did!

Voter number 14 at my polling station this morning at 10:30am. PA07.

[femmocrat]

14. Wow. That is slow!!!

Where is everyone?!

[romana]

19. Good question

We just had a severe thunderstorm roll through accompanied by a tornado warning, which probably won’t help.

[Freddie]

11. DH and I will be voting after work

PA 01 here. Tough decision for congress, they're all good.

[femmocrat]

18. Rachel Reddick has some support on Twitter.

I'm unfamiliar with the other two dems.

[Freddie]

20. I'm voting for her

There is some controversy because she was a registered Repug until fairly recently. I'm hoping she saw the light and is not a stealth candidate.

[disillusioned73]

12. Oh yeah...

Fetterman & King all the way..

[femmocrat]

17. Sorry, who is King?

There are a lot of new people running for Congress this time. We didn't have any big names here on the democratic side.

[disillusioned73]

24. Jess King..

PA11 - she will be challenging Loyd Smucker (R) for his seat this November..

[femmocrat]

25. Thanks!

I did see last night that she won her primary. Hope she beats Smucker! We had several women winners last night. Hope the "old boys' network" is on its way out at last.

[disillusioned73]

28. With the "realignment"

of the districts she ran unopposed for the Dem nomination in the newly established PA-11.. but there is a lot of enthusiasm driving her campaign, Smucker best be ready for a fight - I hope you are correct about the " old boy network"..

[blue neen]

13. Yes!

PA-14 here. Rural district. About #90 at 12:30 p.m.

[femmocrat]

15. I think you are doing better than we are in this corner of PA14.

Maybe it will pick up as people head home. This is trump country though, so maybe a smaller turnout is a good thing.

[blue neen]

21. I think there's a lot of interest in choosing the Democratic candidate for PA-14.

At least I hope there is!

[DeminPennswoods]

22. I voted

shortly after the polls opened, voter #4. Beaver County election bureau head reported very light turnout in the county.

[Number9Dream]

23. Voted in the new 7th District

Got to the polling place about 4:25 pm... sky was black, wind was howling, rain coming down, branches coming down!

Looks like 7th will be Wild (D) vs Nothstein (R).

[femmocrat]

26. Wild is a woman, is that right?

It was a good night for women candidates!

[Number9Dream]

29. Yes... Former Allentown Solicitor Susan Wild

She will go against Marty Nothstein (former Olympic cyclist). The Allentown Morning Call and WFMZ TV are pro Republican. The NRA has tremendous sway in the Lehigh Valley. Northampton County voted for Trump. I think it will be close.
