#46. Results for the April 2016 primary showed 1674 total voters (D/R/I, 670/825/179) and turnout was 47%. The last municipal/judicial election in Nov 2015, turnout was 41%. Turnout today around 8 was roughly 2%. It's not raining, but damp, overcast and temps in the 30s.

My Beaver County precinct is heavily Republican and usually has pretty good turnout. We have a contested school board election. A know-it-all husband and wife team decided the wife should run a write-in campaign in the primary and she won. There's a write-in campaign to keep her from winning a seat, although I have to admit school board meetings would be must-see-tv quality affairs if she wins.

I voted for all Dems, NO on retaining Saylor and NO on the ballot question.
