  • Election Day 2023

    Posted November 6, 2023 | 7:01 pm

  • It is now General Election season in Pennsylvania! The deadline for returning your mail-in ballot is 8:00PM on November 7th which is when the ballot must be physically received at your local election office to be counted – a postmark is not sufficient. 8:00PM on May 16th is also the latest you can get into line at your polling place, 7:00AM being the earliest.

    If this all looks familiar, it’s because everyone whom I voted for in the primary won and I get to vote for them again…

  • Primary Day 2023

  • Primary Election season is upon us in Pennsylvania! The deadline for returning your mail-in ballot is 8:00PM on May 16th – that’s when the ballot must be physically received in your local election office to be counted; a postmark is not sufficient. 8:00PM on May 16th is also the latest you can get into line at your polling place, 7:00AM is the earliest.

    My mail-in ballot was received by my Elections office last week and I think I picked some good ones…

  • Election Day 2022

    Posted November 2, 2022 | 1:37 am

  • We are one week away from Election Day. If you vote by mail, now is the time to get that ballot in a mailbox! Otherwise, in-person voting happens in seven days. If you are in Pennsylvania like I am, the government of the Commonwealth has all you need to know.

    As for myself, I returned my mail-in ballot in mid-October. These were some of my selections…


    United States Senate

    John Fetterman for US Senate


    Pennsylvania Governor

    Josh Shapiro for Pennsylvania Governor


    Pennsylvania State House District 36

    Re-elect Jessica Benham


    Ballot Question – Allegheny County

    Shall Article III, Subsection 6(b)
    of Allegheny County’s Home Rule
    Charter be repealed in order to allow
    Members of County Council the
    same freedom of right to seek other
    elected office as is accorded to all
    other independently elected officials
    in Allegheny County, such that
    Council Members are permitted to
    run for nomination or election to
    elected office other than that of
    County Council Member without first
    having to resign from County
    Council?

    NO

  • Primary Day 2022

    Posted May 10, 2022 | 1:27 am

  • Primary Election season is upon us! At least where I live in Pennsylvania it is. People are receiving their mail-in ballots and hopefully filling them out and mailing them back in time to have them counted. The deadline for that is 8:00PM on May 17th – that’s when the ballot must be physically received in your local election office to be counted; a postmark is not sufficient.

    For those who don’t wish to vote in their pyjamas from the comfort of their homes, one can vote in person on May 17th from 7:00AM when the polls open until they close at 8:00PM (those standing in line prior to that time will still be allowed to vote no matter how late it gets).

    Are you a Pennsylvanian craving more information? There’s a website for that.

    Do you want to know some of my personal candidate picks? See below…


    United States Senate

    Malcolm Kenyatta for US Senate


    Pennsylvania Congressional District 12

    Jerry Dickinson for Congress


    Pennsylvania State House District 36

    Re-elect Jessica Benham

  • Election Day 2021

    Posted October 28, 2021 | 2:30 am

  • Election season is upon us! Election Day itself is one week away on November 2nd, with polls in Pennsylvania open from 7:00AM-8:00PM (find your polling location here), but if you are like me, you may have opted for a mail-in ballot. You have until 5:00PM today to apply for one of those – and it must be received no later than 8:00PM on Election Day proper. So, if you are concerned that the Postal Service is acting sluggish, you might want to drop your ballot off at your county Elections Office in person.

    I’ll get to my personal candidate picks in a moment, but before doing so, I wish to mention my personal candidacy. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, poll workers are elected, and I have been serving as a Judge of Election for Ward 32 District 7 of the City of Pittsburgh for eight years at this point. This year I am up for re-election and I am hoping to serve for a third term. So, should you be one of my neighbours, I would greatly appreciate your endorsement and confidence via your vote.

    Onwards to the candidates who actually have money to campaign! In addition to the two individuals listed below, Pennsylvania has a slate of judicial candidates up for election this year. Too numerous to list, I simply recommend voting straight-ticket Democratic.

    Mayor of Pittsburgh

    Ed Gainey for Mayor


    Pittsburgh City Council – District 4

    Connor Mulvaney for City Council
