An excerpt...
"It could be two weeks before Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato know whether they will have Republican opponents in November.
That's how long it could take for county election workers to count write-in ballots as part of the official count. The city Republican Party mounted a campaign for GOP voters to write in the name of businessman Mark DeSantis and County Councilman Matt Drozd encouraged write-in votes for his son, also named Matt.
In the mayor's race, there were 1,408 Republican write-in votes. Mr. DeSantis would need a minimum of 250 write-in votes and must be the highest vote-getter to win a place on the November ballot.
On the county side, Mr. Drozd would need more than 500 votes and must be the highest vote-getter. A total of 3,413 Republican voters wrote in names." |
