Cranberry Man Says Glitch in System Left Him Unable to Vote
After moving earlier this year from eastern Pennsylvania to Cranberry Township, Scott Schawalder said he received a new voter card but was not listed as a registered voter.
Although he possesses a valid voter registration card, Scott Schawalder said he was barred from voting and turned away from his Cranberry polling location Tuesday because his name did not show up as a registered voter. “My name was nowhere to be found,” he said. Along with his wife, Schawalder moved to Cranberry from the Philadelphia area early in 2012, he said. When they registered their new address to update their driver's licenses with the state Department of Motor Vehicles, Schawalder said he and his wife, Kathleen, also registered for new voter cards at their driver’s license center. That’s where the trouble began. Schawalder said he and his wife were given voter registration receipts, and they later received new voter ID cards in …

My voting worked just fine. Sorry others had problems that Corbett and Kurzai welcome but, as we see, their disqualification efforts, didn't help much, overall. more ›

Mock Presidential Election: Who Did Haine Middle School Students Vote For?
If it were up to these sixth-graders, Romney would have won the vote Tuesday.
Republican Mitt Romney has been declared the next President of the United States—at least he has at Haine Middle School. On Tuesday, sixth-grade students conducted a mock election. Using their own version of the Electoral College System, which they learned about in class leading up to Election Day, they chose Romney as the nation’s leader. In real life Nov. 6, President Barack Obama defeated Romney. But sixth-graders didn’t know that early Tuesday as they threw their support behind either the Democratic or Republican contender. Based on population, each of the 14 sixth-grade classrooms were given a “state” and a certain number of electoral votes after students voted in the popular election. On stage during an assembly Tuesday, those …

Those subsidies go to the small start up pharmas who are developing new medicines that may ultimately save lives. It also goes to smaller oil and gas groups in the midwest. The money they receive comes nowhere near the enormous amount of money Obama doled out to green energy companies that went bankrupt within a year. You can demonize corporate success and wealth all you want. If we took every … more ›

UPDATE: Mitt Romney Lands in Moon Township in Final Hours of Election Day
The Republican presidential candidate makes a final campaign stop in Moon before heading back to Boston to await results.
In one of his final appearances of the presidential campaign, Republican nominee Mitt Romney landed this afternoon in Moon Township, exiting a plane at the Atlantic Aviation hangar before leaving in a motorcade. The stop was brief—Romney did not speak before stepping into an SUV motorcade of five vehicles. After walking out of his plane, he waved to a crowd of cheering supporters packed outside of the runway gate. Romney campaign spokesman Bradley White said the GOP candidate would be traveling in the region this afternoon, but he said the schedule was kept private. Romney's stay in the Pittsburgh area lasted just more than an hour—his plane left Pittsburgh International Airport just after 4 p.m. Romney stopped briefly at a Green Tree …

Man CC, your are completely in denial. Im a Republican that had no choice but to vote for Obama. Romney told so many lies I couldn't keep up anymore. How do you go to Ohio & tell Ohioans that their jobs are going to ? At least tell that lie in Florida where they may not fact check you or simply just know the truth. Those people knew they wasn't losing their jobs. He just did stupid stuff. How do … more ›
Cranberry at the Polls: Election Workers Report Big Turnout
Workers say it has been smooth sailing—for the most part.
By 6:15 a.m. Tuesday, there already was a line of people ready to cast their votes waiting outside the Cranberry West I polling location at the Cranberry Highlands Golf Club, according to Sally Buchele, judge of elections at the location. That’s even though the polls didn’t open until 7 a.m. “This is the busiest we’ve been since the last presidential election,” she said. By noon, close to 40 percent of the 2,270 registered voters in the Cranberry West I district had cast their votes, Buchele said. She added that’s already about twice as many people as the precinct typically gets in a non-presidential election year. “We haven't had a dead space yet,” she said as lines continued to form inside the building. “It’s been wonderful.” At the …

I understand that the official PA literature goes into detail about the specifics of the ID, what it must and mustn't include, but remember that it was PA's Republican-led government that composed that literature. Why would it matter if the ID had the wrong name, race, and gender if we don't need ID to begin with? more ›
Update: Election 2012 Turnout Brisk in Allegheny County, Western PA
Allegheny County Common Pleas Court extends deadline for absentee ballots to be submitted from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. after elections officials receive more requests than expected.
Over and over, visitors to the Allegheny County Election Division heard the same refrain Tuesday morning: “Elections division, how may I help you?” "Elections division, please hold." From their headquarters Downtown, that constant jangle was the only way elections division workers could gauge that Tuesday was shaping up to be a busy Election Day around Allegheny County, Division Manager Mark Wolosik said. “You hear the phones ringing off the hook,” he said. The most-frequent questions? Most callers asked to confirm if they were registered to vote or where their polling places were located, he said. By mid-morning, division workers had fielded enough questions to prompt Wolosik to issue the office’s prediction: It would be a brisk voting …
