I understand that Mary Birks is completely out. Mike Riemer finished first. So far, that's all I know.
Sorry that this post is in piecemeal.

Here are the updated unofficial results. The County has to certify the absentee ballots in the next week or so.
I do know that Mt. Lebanon voted yes for the commissioners to raise taxes. Shaking my head.
Update May 17, 2017 5:04 PM The Pennsylvania Ethics Commission received additional information concerning my complaint against Elaine Cappucci this morning at 10:41.
School Board?
ReplyDeleteAbsentee isn't yet counted. Birks is only down six votes. It's unlikely, but the vote could change.
ReplyDeleteSilverman wins by a lot.
Cappucci and Riemer are in.
Someone posted dem #s for school board on Facebook, but not the republican side... I assume they add the 2 together? Plus then the 2 year term is separate. I can't find any data for the Lebo contests. Please share!
ReplyDeleteThis is a primary, not an election. There will be another vote, with the Ds running against the Rs. You don't add the votes.
ReplyDeleteThis is like America in a nutshell: so many opinions, so like little knowledge.
One things is for sure, in the race for Ward 4 commissioner Fischer is going to define the issues and hammer hard on the them all summer if he's going to beat the democrat based on turnout.
ReplyDeleteGrella 504
Fischer 196
Blind party loyalty will kill him.
On the HR issue It's odd because if you talked to people there were very few that understood it. Most I believe thought if it's on the ballot who am I to say no because it's over my head.
3:43 AM, I am well aware that this is a Primary. I added the votes together to give an idea of where they would stand, had it been the General Election.

11:24 PM,
ReplyDeleteThey do not add the two together.They are separate races for each party's nomination.
10:55 PM said that Riemer and Cappucci are in having won nominations from both parties. 10:55 also said Birks was down six votes so it would come down to absentee balloting. It did. Birks overtook Riemer on the Republican side with the absentee ballots. She ended up beating Riemer by four votes. (If anyone ever says their vote doesn't count, have them look at this.)
This means that Riemer is no longer guaranteed a spot. Only Cappucci is. Everybody who ran yesterday, with the exception of DePlato, has moved on to the fall election.
With the exception of DePlato and Lee, 6:23 AM.

The ONLY reason that Silverman won is because he is part of Ward 2's residents' primal aggression, the force that leads otherwise rational people to become obsessed with killing deer. It's a very sad time for Mt. Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteHeard exiting the polls "that was a tough ballot there were hardly any names I recognized!"
ReplyDeleteThat's it? You pick candidates because you recognize the name!
Maybe it's time to license people to vote like we issue drivers licenses... one must be able to show they have the basic skills to think.
Silverman won because Lee's mailer talked about the problems in Washington, DC.
ReplyDeleteI think Lee did pretty well (about 1/3 of the vote), considering he was up against someone benefitting from layers of systemic privilege.
ReplyDeleteJust to quickly highlight one result for yesterday: Mt. Lebanon Republicans voted for Cappucci to appear on the November ballot for the two year term ... which is the very same seat that she gave up so that her son could get his (in through the back door, ill-deserved) job. Unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know, 4:39 PM. It is embarrassing. The MLRC continues to disappoint me.
