Four days earlier the office tucked away in the corner of the Depot Shops in Paoli was teeming with activity. Tables full of volunteers calling perspective voters and reminding them to go to the polls on Election Day. In the world of politics campaigns come and campaigns go.For people who poured their heart and soul into working for any candidate of any party at every level, the days after election day can be a let down. When your candidate doesn't win, the let down can be even bigger. For Salome Gasible the woman who managed the GOP "Victory Center" in Paoli, and her most loyal volunteer, Friday afternoon was the last gasp as they locked the door for the last time. Gasible said she was headed home to South Bend, Indiana to start sending …

Wednesday, November 7, 2012
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were re-elected Tuesday night, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his vice presidential running mate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan. NBC News called the presidential election for Obama around 11:15 EST. The president sent a message on Twitter at 10:14 saying simply, "This happened because of you. Thank you." The Obama campaign won the most expensive presidential race ever, with both parties raising about $2.6 billion. The race was filled with negative campaigning on both sides, from Obama attacking Romney’s business experience with Bain Capital to Romney lambasting Obama’s handling of the economy. The race tightened during the final months of the campaign, with gaffes and surges from …

Election Day brought problems at polls in several areas of eastern Pennsylvania
EASTERN PA — Several reports of voting irregularities in Eastern Pennsylvania emerged on Tuesday, the day of the presidential election. In Easton, signs appeared offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to voter fraud convictions. A constable for Easton’s 10th ward removed one such sign staked into the ground after consulting with an elections attorney on site. The Pennsylvania Commercial Action Network, the same group that posted “Replace ObamaCare” billboards around the state, made the signs. ID Requests Many Easton voters also reported poll workers asking for their IDs, even though IDs are not required for this election cycle under the law. Matthew Keeler, press secretary for the PA Department of State, said that's part of the …

Construction forces a change in location for some Tredyffrin Voters.
If you live in Chester County precinct 640 and normally vote at Del Chevrolet, your polling place has moved for this election. Construction at the dealership means the polling place is now at The Tredyffrin Township Municipal Building. Two precincts will be voting at the Muinicipal Building for this election. Both polling places enter through the main entrance. If you normally vote at Del Chevrolet, your polling place is in the Community Room, which is to the right of the entrance as you enter the Municipal Building.

Pennsylvania helped President Barack Obama win re-election as U.S. Sen. Bob Casey fended off a feisty challenge from Republican coal magnate Tom Smith in what turned out to be a big night for Democrats in the Keystone State. Democrats held the lead in three state row office races as of 2:30 a.m. Wednesday with close to 98 percent of the vote in, according to unofficial results. Kathleen Kane, a former assistant district attorney from Lackawanna County, made history by becoming the first Democrat and first woman to be elected as the state's attorney general. The Republican candidate, David Freed, is a two-term district attorney in Cumberland County. Democrat Eugene DePasquale of York leads Republican John Maher of Allegheny in the auditor …

It happens to some degree in almost every election cycle, but it seems that signs of increasing incivility are popping up in TE.
Driving all over TE for a "who's winning the battle of the signs" story it became clear that a new battle was raging this weekend over political lawn signs. The challenge: having your lawn sign survive what appears to be a concerted effort (apparently by supporters of both major parties) to pull signs out of the ground if they support a candiate that the sign pullers do not. This is not a science or research based story. It is simply based on the observations of this Patch editor who spent most of Saturday afternoon driving around almost all of Tredyffrin and Easttown assessing the remaining damage from Hurricane Sandy and looking for signs of trouble with election signs. Two of the biggest hot spots for political sign disruption on …

With the election less than 48 hours away, Romney’s visit to Shady Brook Farm is one indication the campaign believes Pennsylvania is in play.
Thousands of supporters braved long lines and cold temperatures to attend Mitt Romney’s rally at Shady Brook Farm Sunday night. With the election less than 48 hours away, Romney’s stop in Bucks County is one indication the campaign feels the Keystone State, with its 20 electoral votes, is in play. An estimated 25,000 people showed up to support the former Massachusetts governor, who told an enthusiastic crowd, “we’re taking back the White House because we’re going to win Pennsylvania.” The large crowd began forming hours before Romney arrived. Lines to get through security stretched from the farm to the Newtown Bypass for several hours leading up to the event. Supporters, some holding signs and flags, bundled up to endure temperatures in…
