Pennsylvania | Chester County Report

I stopped by several local Chester County, PA polling locations today. Authorities said turnout was quite high, and at my local polling location, the wait this morning was 45 minutes. What’s more surprising … by 1 PM over 400 of the roughly 1000 people on the rolls had voted … meaning a turnout much higher than 50% by the end of the night.

Other notables: no exit pollers at either location I visited, although MoveOnPAC had tables outside both stations.

Did you happen to stop by West Bradford’s township building? We got there just a bit after noon, and 58 minutes later exited the polls, ballot stubs in hand.

I believe my poll station was expecting around 2000, and when we were there seems like there’d been just over 500, with a nice long line behind us. Let’s hope it kept up throughout the day!
