The Inquirer has recently posted the Montgomery county election results. For commissioner it's Bruce Castor, Joe Hoeffel, and Jim Matthews. I predict this turns out to be not much fun for anyone. Several of the row offices, clerk of courts, controller, coroner, prothonotary, and register of wills, were won by Democrats; district attorney, register of wills, treasurer, and sheriff, went Republican.
Bucks County has all precincts reporting but still says the results are unofficial. It shows all row offices going to Republicans and Jim Cawley, Diane Marseglia, and Charles Martin winning county commissioner seats, with less than 800 votes between Martin and Steve Santarsiero.
Delaware County voted in the three Republicans running for county council.
Statewide, with 97% of precincts reporting, Seamus McCaffery and Debra Todd will be joining the Supreme Court. Christine Donohue, Bruce Bratton, and Jackie Shogan will be joining the Superior Court. All statewide judges were retained with percentages somewhere in the 60% range.
The state Democratic party has other county election news.
I'm off to work, and will be back to a late night posting schedule.

It ended up with just over 1500 votes b/t Santarsiero and Martin. So it's the same old, same old in Bucks for another term. You want to talk about no fun?
I'd chalk this up to the will of the people but the machines we use (like those in MontCo) are unverifiable and insecure so it's impossible to know for sure what really happened.
Robin,
interesting point. I've wondered if that is a closer election that in recent years. It would be interesting to look at the last few elections and see if there is a trend.
