PA Statewide Elections 2019

Very excited to vote for Amanda Green-Hawkins later and McCaffery too

I'm bummed that Amanda lost. We had nothing really surprising go down here in Lancaster County. Hobie Crystle, our progressive candidate for District Attorney, got just about 40% of the vote. His opponent got 52,000 votes. In 2015, the previous Republican DA got just shy of 51,000 votes.

Turnout seemed to be up across the county. Last night, the county commissioners race netted 135,000 votes, whereas in 2015, 104,000 votes were counted. So just based on that, looks like a lot more people came out to vote. Of course, Lancaster County gonna Lancaster County so those margins mostly favored Republicans.

A lot of the reporting on the ground yesterday showed voters saying there is a lot of enthusiasm to vote for Trump next year and that's why turnout is so high. I would take that with a grain of salt, but we'll see.

Lancaster Newspapers reporting 27.17% turnout (88,369 votes cast out of 325,296 registered voters) in Lancaster County.

Looks like about ~65,000 votes were cast in 2015. Turnout was 21.06% according to LNP.

A 6% increase in a municipal election in deep red Lancaster County spells (mostly) good for Trump in 2020.
