PA Primary and voting [View all]

Voted around 9:30 in person at my usual polling location. No line, poll workers wearing masks, but not required for voters. I chatted with the judge of elections for a bit and was told about 500 absentee ballots of 1700 voters. Gotta say I love the paper ballots and scanner. You feed your own ballot in, the scanner reads it, records the votes and then you hear a soft clunk as it falls in the ballot box.

We have a closed primary so you vote for candidates from the party in which you are registered. Not many contested races for either party. The biggest open Dem office is Auditor General as current aud gen DePasquale is running in PA-10 against Scott Perry. I voted for Nina Ahmed. There's a candidate from each big region, Michael Lamb (Conor's uncle) from western PA, Scott Conklin from Centre County (central) and Ahmed from eastern PA.
