Election results for Uwchlan 2

Written By: brian - Nov• 05•08

We live in a Republican stronghold. These results are telling, though.

REGISTERED VOTERS - TOTAL .  .  .  .  .  .   1611
BALLOTS CAST - TOTAL.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .   1272
VOTER TURNOUT - TOTAL  .  .  .  .  .  .  .          78.96

Seventy-eight percent turnout! Now I know why I waited an hour and 25 minutes to vote.

STRAIGHT PARTY
(VOTE FOR NOT MORE THAN )  1
DEMOCRATIC (DEM) .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .    258   44.25
REPUBLICAN (REP) .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .    316   54.20
CONSTITUTION (CON)  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .      0
INDEPENDENT (IND).  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .      8    1.37
LIBERTARIAN (LIB).  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .      1     .17

The Straight Party vote is probably also a decent indicator of the Democrat/Republican split around here. Which makes this all the more interesting:

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS
(VOTE FOR NOT MORE THAN )  1
BARACK OBAMA (DEM)  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .    691   54.37
JOHN MCCAIN (REP).  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .    573   45.08
RALPH NADER (IND).  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .      1     .08
BOB BARR (LIB).  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .      4     .31
WRITE-IN.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .      2     .16

Most of the other offices on the ballot yesterday went to Republicans, with comfortable margins.
