TOP 5 PENNSYLVANIA STORIES

1.  THE COVID CRISIS: Pennsylvanians were briefed daily by Governor Wolf and Secretary Levine. A color code system was set up for counties who were in lockdown. Red indicated very little movement. By May Luzerne ws in green followed closely by Scranton in June.

 

2.  PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION The state became a beehive of activity for both national parties. Both major candidates, Biden and Trump as well as their surrogates were frequent visitors.

 

3.  MAIL IN VOTING This became the norm in the June primary but advocates for the President began to issue false news that there was widespread ballot fraud in the election. The Trump campaign petitioned state courts  but their ridiculous claims were  thrown out. There were only 3 cases of voter fraud in the state where men who supported the President tried to get their dead mothers to cast a vote for Diaper Don. THREE!

 

4.  ROW OFFICE UPSETS: With little money Stacey Garrision beat incumbent State Treasurer Joe Torsella. He was seen as possibly running for Senate or Governor. For Auditor General Nina Ahmed was beaten by Dauphin County Controller Tim DeFoor who had little name recognition and money. Josh Shapiro staved off a challenge and remained as Attorney General.

 

5.   THE KEYSTONE STATE GOES BACK TO BLUE Pennsylvania did in deed go for Biden and helped secure the Scranton native his win for the Presidency.
