Is this an Amish area?? The Amish have been hard core Trump supporters. The borderline religous cult would never vote for a women......biggest puppy mill operators in Penn State........supported RKennedy Jr for health rep........lots of incest.......

Have the Amish finally...."seen the light?"

We call it Pennsyltucky! That is how great this news is . 😆

I don't know if we would go that far but it is definitely a big Amish area.

There was a show called "Amish Mafia".........and another show all about children that were "shunned" and were not allowed back in the house.

I lived near an Amish area close to Punxsutawney most of my life, and I didn't think that the Amish voted. Maybe some sects do and others don't.

When it affect them, hopefully….

Thank you for taking the time to post this. Very interesting. I will continue to watch for more info.

Seriously? If true, all my beliefs in the Amish way of life are way off base. I didn't think they voted at all. Where would they get their news & information? How can I look into this more, its taken me quite by surprise. The Lancaster area is so beautiful and we've vacationed there often spending lots of $$$, but you are telling me its hiding a big secret. More than one. I do my best not to support any Trump supporters and will change my ways if necessary. Thanks for your input.

Thank you SO MUCH for the local intel 💙

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race between pro-democracy Judge Susan Crawford and MAGA loyalist Brad Schimel will be a defining moment. With MAGA’s grip weakening, this election may signal its implosion. A victory for Crawford would reaffirm democracy; a Schimel win cements authoritarian ambitions. The stakes are historic.

Let's hope that Musk buying votes at $100.00 each does not pay off. I am with you pal and I'm Canadian.

your optimism is unwarranted.

Did the “other guy” contest the outcome of the election yet or is he waiting for guidance from the orange lunatic?

Yes!

This is not the “it happened” we were all waiting for…

Take the win! Any small bit of news (and this is not small at all!) builds momentum and portends a shift! Celebrate it and use it to propel us forward. If Lancaster County can do, anyone can!

We have other elections coming up in Wisconsin and Florida. If all of those seats are won by Democrats - big happy dance.

CBC reported on all the Tesla protests picking up steam accross Ontario. Christa Freeland has cut off future funding to Tesla.

I read about the investigation. It involves approximately $15 million.

I thought it was approx $43million in rebates, which have been frozen. Trying to claim you sold 8600 teslas in a matter of a few days is greed and arrogance over any sort of braincells.

My 18 year old son walked into our little polling place yesterday in East Petersburg with his head held high looked right at me and said “Mom, we’re flipping this seat today!” Knowing young kids are listening and are fed up gives me hope! Other states can flip their seats too if we can do it in conservative Lancaster County PA!

Breaking news. The kids are alright. Also not alt-right.

It is one of them. There isn’t a singular event that will happen and magically restore democracy. But putting the first Democrat in office since the 19th century is one dot on a red stain that can start turning the tide blue. The idea is that if it can happen in Lancaster, PA, it can happen, period. Also, the style of the network is a noisy one. One of the ways Repubs get the press (besides owning it!) is that they are freaking LOUD. It gets people’s attention. I looked tor the story in mainstream news and didn’t see it, so I very much appreciate the literal shoutout for a district where my nonbinary 20-yr-old is currently residing!

Right! We have to be just as loud!!!!!!

It’s these so called little (but not really small!)things that we keep saying are building blocks to gaining our freedoms back, of protecting our children( our future), of the start of defeating the attempt to control our rights under the Constitution.

KEEP IN MIND: billionaires may have made a few savy investments but how were they able to do that? On the backs of that companies workers to promote and package a product that was first envisioned by a who took an idea and made it into something of want or need.

They that person made arrangements to have samples made and others may then also improved that person’s idea. Then those people invested in selling that idea to manufactures who then offered that product to others who promoted it to buyers and suppliers alike. Then a company puts its product in the hands of someone who entices people to want it and gets the product on the market. Now there’s a big push by a large corporation to attain great profit but ONLY after the traveling thru a journey born by others …. Others whose imagination, physical development, skill in presentation, ability to make the world want to own the product, finally getting closer to making a profit - a profit sometimes that is manipulated to bigger and bigger profits by using the popularity and desire of that product to be able to raise prices…. And a billionare is born…. who then claims the glory and title of the whole process.

So the billionaire gets his money from chance and the labor of countless others…

Keep in mind it is not the billionaire WHO HAS THE POWER! It is we the people who worked on each step who made him/her rich!

We hold the power, we can fix this !!!

Wisconsin is the one we need to happen. Elon is putting all his effort into that election. He is paying 100.00 dollars again to vote republican.

I can’t believe this is actually not against the law. Buying votes.

It is illegal, it’s election interference, no one will hold him accountable unless someone in Wisconsin decides to do it.

Someone needs to take a photo of him paying a voter so that the doubters will be shocked…Could prove this to a Judge…

Maybe the people who take his bribe will go in there and vote for the dem candidate.

We need it ALL to happen! If a poorly funded, little-known Dem can best a well-known Republican in a R+15 district that hasn't elected a Dem since 1889, there's more hope for Crawford in WI!

Wisconsin here, me and my family will be voting Susan Crawford! Women’s rights were on the chopping block in the last Supreme Court race, and a democrat secured the seat. This time not only that but a lot more is on the chopping block, and I am praying for the same outcome. A lot of my peers have woken up and realized a lot is wrong with Trump. Fingers crossed, and my hope remains🤞🏼💙

Marissa please pass on that we are hearing that musk is buying votes in WI. Literally paying people $100 to vote Republican. We can’t let him get away with that!

Wisconsin state senate and house seats are so gerrymandered that the only seats Dems can win are state wide elections where gerrymandering doesn't work. I 🙏🏻 this holds in your Supreme Court election and you elect Susan Crawford.

It's not to buy votes. Technically. It's for signing a petition. Either way. Should not be allowed to happen.

Hello: I am in Florida's 1st Congressional District, and I really wish the media would quit overlooking Gay Valimont's fight to win Matt Gaetz's former seat! I get that District 6 is important, but against all odds Gay has raised millions and we minority Democrats here in the 1st are fighting for the seat by canvassing, phone banking, etc. We have a very real shot given the historically low turnout for special elections! I have been fighting the good fight here in Northwest Florida since 2015, and am tired of getting short shrift not only from the media, but also from our own Florida Democratic Party. WE ARE HERE AND WE ARE FIGHTING!
