Representative Meehan earns second term.
U.S. Representative Patrick Meehan (R-7) won a second term Tuesday. With 98.8 percent of districts reporting statewide, unofficial state results showed the incumbent garnering 199,105 votes to Democratic challenger George Badey's 135,677. Montgomery County election results showed Meehan winning by a lower margin in the county, collecting 56.6 percent of 71,881 votes cast. The two squared off in a debate as recently as last Thursday, when Badey went on the offensive and criticized Meehan for his support for the Paul Ryan budget proposal and what it could mean for Medicare, PoliticsPa.com reported. Meehan responded by arguing that Medicare is currently on the path to bankruptcy, and is one of several areas in which the federal government is …
The incumbent candidate for the 19th District defeated his challenger, Chris Amentas.
State Sen. Andrew Dinniman was reelected Tuesday night to serve a second full term as a Pennsylvania state senator representing the 19th district. Dinniman defeated Republican challenger Chris Amentas, an East Fallowfield Township Supervisor, by about 16 percentage points. He celebrated the victory at his Exton campaign headquarters with more than a dozen supporters—family, staff and volunteers, and his dog Henry. Dinniman was a Chester County Commissioner when he was elected to state senate in 2006 to serve out the term of the late state Sen. Robert Thompson. He was re-elected to a full term in 2008. Looking to the six years ahead, Dinniman said he hopes to improve the state's education system, avoiding a "one-size-fits-all" approach to …
Democrats win big from Montgomery County to the White House.
"Jubilant." That was the first word from Montgomery County Commissioner Josh Shapiro when asked about the mood at the Montgomery County Democratic Committee watch party Tuesday night. "A lot of people really worked hard and it was a boots on the ground effort," Shapiro said, the sounds of cheers surrounding him in the basement of UFCW Local 1776 in Plymouth Meeting. "It paid off with another big win for the President in Montgomery County and in Pennsylvania." The Democrats certainly had plenty to celebrate, as they fared well at the county, state, and national levels.

Say 'illegal' effort took up party resources.
Montgomery County Republicans are unhappy with what they say was an "illegal effort" by Obama for America volunteers to act as poll watchers during Tuesday's elections. According to John Keleman, executive director of the Montgomery County Republican Committee, the MCRC began receiving calls from its poll watchers Tuesday morning about individuals entering at least a dozen polling places in Lower Merion, Cheltenham, and Plymouth Township and identifying themselves as attorneys. These individuals produced letters from the state Democratic party that stated they were allowed to enter polling places to act as observers, Keleman said. However, according to Keleman, only individuals with certificates issued by the Montgomery County Board of …
Election Day brought problems at polls in several areas of eastern Pennsylvania
EASTERN PA — Several reports of voting irregularities in Eastern Pennsylvania emerged on Tuesday, the day of the presidential election. In Easton, signs appeared offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to voter fraud convictions. A constable for Easton’s 10th ward removed one such sign staked into the ground after consulting with an elections attorney on site. The Pennsylvania Commercial Action Network, the same group that posted “Replace ObamaCare” billboards around the state, made the signs. ID Requests Many Easton voters also reported poll workers asking for their IDs, even though IDs are not required for this election cycle under the law. Matthew Keeler, press secretary for the PA Department of State, said that's part of the …

Former NYC Mayor blasts President on Sandy and Benghazi.
Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani paid a visit to a Romney campaign office in Conshohocken Monday, and used the opportunity to rip President Barack Obama on his handling of the Hurricane Sandy aftermath and the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Guiliani told a crowd of about 80 supporters and campaign workers that upon hearing of the attack on the consulate, Obama decided to send in CIA operatives, who were then delayed at an airport for three hours. "What do you think a President McCain, or a President Romney, or a President Reagan would have done?" Giuliani asked. "Sent in the Marines immediately. I don't care if it embarrasses the Libyan government, all I care about is saving American lives." According to the …

Thousands of supporters braved long lines and cold temperatures to attend Mitt Romney’s rally at Shady Brook Farm Sunday night. With the election less than 48 hours away, Romney’s stop in Bucks County is one indication the campaign feels the Keystone State, with its 20 electoral votes, is in play.

Lines to get through security stretched from the farm to the Newtown Bypass for several hours leading up to the event. Supporters, some holding signs and flags, bundled up to endure temperatures in…
