Democrats win big from Montgomery County to the White House.
"Jubilant." That was the first word from Montgomery County Commissioner Josh Shapiro when asked about the mood at the Montgomery County Democratic Committee watch party Tuesday night.

Voters chose to re-elect State Rep. Todd Stephens of Horsham.
Todd Stephens has duked it out in three contests for the 151st legislative district. On Tuesday, State Rep. Stephens, of Horsham, earned a second term representing residents of his hometown, as well as Ambler, Abington, Montgomery Township and Upper Dublin. When reached for comment just after 10 p.m. Tuesday, Stephens, who lost his first bid in 2008 against Democrat Rick Taylor, said that while he was proud of his record, it's impossible to know what other factors might play into people's votes. "Obama carried my district by 5,000 votes and I lost by 419 votes," Stephens said of the 2008 race. On Tuesday, with the Montgomery County Board of Elections not yet posting unofficial election results for the 151st legislative district, …
Say 'illegal' effort took up party resources.
Montgomery County Republicans are unhappy with what they say was an "illegal effort" by Obama for America volunteers to act as poll watchers during Tuesday's elections. According to John Keleman, executive director of the Montgomery County Republican Committee, the MCRC began receiving calls from its poll watchers Tuesday morning about individuals entering at least a dozen polling places in Lower Merion, Cheltenham, and Plymouth Township and identifying themselves as attorneys. These individuals produced letters from the state Democratic party that stated they were allowed to enter polling places to act as observers, Keleman said. However, according to Keleman, only individuals with certificates issued by the Montgomery County Board of …
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 …
Incumbent Todd Stephens and Democrat Will Sylianteng compete for the legislative district which covers Horsham, Upper Dublin, Ambler, Montgomery Township and Abington.
For Democrat Will Sylianteng, the man contesting incumbent State Rep. Todd Stephens for his seat representing the 151st legislative district, sums up Tuesday as a "good day one way or the other." "We’re at polling places introducing ourselves to people as they come in," Sylianteng told Patch of he and his 30 or so volunteers in place at some of the district's three dozen polling places throughout Horsham, Upper Dublin, Ambler, Montgomery Township and Abington. "You actually go face-to-face with an actual voter." It's different than the 14,000 doors Sylianteng knocked while talking to people who, he said may or may not even cast a vote in the 2012 election. To actually see them about to do that makes for a "pretty enjoyable day," he said. …

Former NYC Mayor blasts President on Sandy and Benghazi.
Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani paid a visit to a Romney campaign office in Conshohocken Monday, and used the opportunity to rip President Barack Obama on his handling of the Hurricane Sandy aftermath and the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Guiliani told a crowd of about 80 supporters and campaign workers that upon hearing of the attack on the consulate, Obama decided to send in CIA operatives, who were then delayed at an airport for three hours. "What do you think a President McCain, or a President Romney, or a President Reagan would have done?" Giuliani asked. "Sent in the Marines immediately. I don't care if it embarrasses the Libyan government, all I care about is saving American lives." According to the …

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…
