@Commish_Schmidt @SpotlightPA Not just me! Although one of these things is not like the others

I often say that you’ll never see a headline reading “Election Goes Well,” well…Pennsylvania just proved me wrong. From @ByCarterWalker at @SpotlightPA spotlightpa.org/news/2026/05/2…

@ByCarterWalker Last time I worked the polls was before the days of data sticks!
English
Still some in Allegheny too, which the county told me was due to poll workers forgetting to remove the data sticks from the machines at the end of the night and that they would be uploaded this week. I’d suspect a similar story in Philly.

None of these elections are in doubt or anything, but it is crazy to me that there are still four polling places in Philly not reporting. It's been a day and a half!
English
@KyleSammin I hadn’t thought you did, but yeah it can be confusing 2 days later!
English
@ByCarterWalker That makes sense. I didn't think it was anything malicious, but it was definitely confusing.

In Pennsylvania your county is listed on the ballot. In the GOP primary for Lt. Gov., John Ventre received 74% of the vote in his home county of Westmoreland, and a majority in four bordering counties. Losing the statewide vote by 30 points. (map from nytimes)

Last week, Pennsylvania State Supreme Court Justice David Wecht said he was leaving the Democratic Party because of “hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions.”

TX-35 Democratic candidate Maureen Galindo says she will convert ICE detention center in Karnes County into an internment camp for "American Zionists." "It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists," she added.

@Commish_Schmidt That’s a wrap for me for the day. Thanks for following along!

@Commish_Schmidt A spokesperson for the department tells me today’s high temp in Harrisburg (93 degrees) was a record high for as far back as they could check, which was the mid 1980s
