Casey, Kane shrug off primary challenges; Montgomery County results.
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney had little trouble winning the Pennsylvania Republican primary for President of the United States, with his closest competition coming from a man who no longer is in the race. Romney finished with 57 percent of the vote, followed by former Sen. Rick Santorum at 19 percent. Santorum withdrew from the race earlier this month. Texas congressman Ron Paul finished third with 13 percent, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was last with 11 percent of the vote. Montgomery County Republicans gave Romney a more emphatic nod than the rest of the state, awarding him about 67 percent of the vote. Santorum captured about 13 percent of the county vote, which still gave him 44 more votes than libertarian …

Castor will be the minority Republican member of a Board of Commissioners controlled by Democrats Josh Shapiro and Leslie Richards.
County Commissioner Bruce Castor confirmed this afternoon that he would take his seat as the minority member of the county's Board of Commissioners in January, alongside Commissioners-elect Josh Shapiro and Leslie Richards. Castor, who finished third out of the four commissioner candidates in yesterday's election, made the announcement alongside erstwhile running mate Jenny Brown at their election team headquarters in Blue Bell. In explaining the defeat of the Brown-Castor ticket, Castor said the biggest obstacle the Republicans faced in the election was going in with no money in the bank, where the Democrats went in with $1 million. Castor explained that he was not able to raise money during his term due to Commissioner James Matthews "…

The Montgomery County Office of Communications released the following information: Metal and plastic campaign signs have been dotted along streets and roads throughout the county for the last several weeks.

Patch caught up with a few voters post-ballot casting.
Although turnout for local races is notoriously weak -- unofficial county results estimate one-third of registered Montco voters went to the polls -- residents had strong opinions they voiced at the polls. While some people wanted new blood among their representatives, or improved fiscal conservatism, three voters in Trappe (who wanted to remain anonymous) said they supported pro-life candidates.
Three members running unopposed for four-year terms; two people are running for one two-year term
