Barack Obama Re-Elected President
President Obama defeats Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice presidential running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan. NBC News called the presidential election for Obama around 11:15 EST. The president sent a message on Twitter at 10:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you." The Obama campaign won the most expensive presidential race ever, with both parties raising about $2.6 billion. The race was filled with negative campaigning on both sides, from Obama attacking Romney’s business experience with Bain Capital to Romney lambasting Obama’s handling of the economy. The race tightened during the final months of the campaign, with gaffes and surges from …

Marcia Hahn Retains 138th House Seat
Voters say Republican incumbent Marcia Hahn should keep her 138th House seat in Harrisburg.
Republican incumbent Marcia Hahn will keep her 138th house district seat after defeating Democratic challenger Leslie Altieri on Tuesday, according to unofficial results. With 34 of 35 precincts reporting, Hahn received 19,797 votes compared to 11,595 for Altieri, a first-time candidate. All vote tallies are unofficial until certified by county election officials. "It was a great turnout today, and I really appreciate all the people who came out to support me," said an admittedly tired Hahn. "And I want to thank Leslie for running a clean campaign." Hahn has served in the House since she won a special election in 2010 to fill the unexpired term of former state Rep. Craig Dally, who became a Northampton County judge. Hahn was Dally's …

Reports of Voter Fraud, Voter ID Challenges, Irregularities Reported in Eastern PA
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 …

Sweden's workers pay the highest taxes in the world!!! That model wouldn't work here, since only 1/2 U.S. population pay ANY federal tax. Yes, the 47% who avoid federal tax demand much, but you can only squeeze the working class just so much to pay for it all. more ›
Bethlehem Patch Election Results 2012
Updates on the 2012 federal and state elections will be posted here throughout the day. Connect with us on Twitter too at #PatchElections.
Some voters in South Bethlehem were forced to cast provisional ballots, in part, because a judge of elections didn’t follow proper procedures, according to poll observers. The judge allegedly passed out provisional ballots rather than place a call to the Northampton County Election Bureau to verify the voter’s registration status, according to Bethlehem City Councilman Michael Recchiuti, an attorney who was working as a poll observer for the Democratic Party. Some voters walked away, Recchiuti said. The judge in Bethlehem’s Fifth Ward, Dick Jones, said he didn’t do anything wrong. “We could call 10 times and all we’d get was a busy signal,” said Dick Jones, the Fifth Ward judge, pointing to a cell phone on the table where he worked in …

Pennsylvania Election Results 2012
The Keystone State helped Barack Obama win re-election in what was a good night for Democrats across Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania helped President Barack Obama win re-election as U.S. Sen. Bob Casey fended off a feisty challenge from Republican coal magnate Tom Smith in what turned out to be a big night for Democrats in the Keystone State. Democrats held the lead in three state row office races as of 2:30 a.m. Wednesday with close to 98 percent of the vote in, according to unofficial results. Kathleen Kane, a former assistant district attorney from Lackawanna County, made history by becoming the first Democrat and first woman to be elected as the state's attorney general. The Republican candidate, David Freed, is a two-term district attorney in Cumberland County. Democrat Eugene DePasquale of York leads Republican John Maher of Allegheny in the auditor …

Thousands Brave Lines, Cold to Cheer Romney
With the election less than 48 hours away, Romney’s visit to Shady Brook Farm is one indication the campaign believes Pennsylvania is in play.
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. An estimated 25,000 people showed up to support the former Massachusetts governor, who told an enthusiastic crowd, “we’re taking back the White House because we’re going to win Pennsylvania.” The large crowd began forming hours before Romney arrived. 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…

Telling people to shut up, cursing and name calling doesn't make me want to change my decision. We each have a right to our own opinion and a duty to vote for who we feel will be best for the whole country. We really are in this together. I pray that who ever wins this election today will lead us in the right direction. I have no intentions of having a fight with someone in a comment section on … more ›
