"Confused voters"? I believe the phrase is "cretinous moron Pennsylvanians".Voters in Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District are heading to the polls in a neck-and-neck special election that’s caught national attention.
Meanwhile, confused voters in Pennsylvania’s 17 other congressional districts have logged angry calls and messages with their local elections offices after finding their own polls closed Tuesday.
Northampton County Registrar Dee Rumsey said her office received more than a dozen calls before noon from voters pursuing their constitutional right to vote. Several media outlets, she said, failed to make clear it was not a statewide race, but limited to one district in southwestern Pennsylvania.
In a rare step, Rumsey’s office updated its website to stress that the election is limited to portions of Allegheny, Greene, Washington and Westmoreland counties. The message has slowed the number of calls coming into the office, she said.
“When we tell them there’s no election, they’re saying, ‘Are you sure?’” she said.
Lehigh County Chief Clerk of Elections Tim Benyo said his office received numerous calls in the past week as voters checked if they were registered to vote. Between the unusual nature of the special election and the breathless coverage about the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s recent decision on redistricting, he said he was surprised he wasn’t getting more calls.
“It’s — unfortunately — very common,” Benyo said of confusion around special elections. “Everything kind of gets lumped together.”
And in conclusion, fuck everybody & everything to hell; there is, finally, no more hope!
