Uncommitted Votes, Low Turnout & More Election Takeaways

It’s the Friday news roundup, election edition! City Cast contributor Natalie Bencivenga joins host Megan Harris to talk about the winners and losers, what a few of those victories may tell us about what’s coming in November, and why we should be paying attention to all those write-ins, even if we never get a full or complete accounting of everything they said.

We always cite our sources:

• Allegheny County election results
• SpotlightPA has great info on the candidates for attorney general.
• More than 60,000 voters statewide chose the write-in option in the Democratic presidential primary, but we may not get a complete count of how many people voted “uncommitted” because of the way Philadelphia tallies write-ins.

Learn more about our sponsors: 

• City of Asylum is hosting International Jazz Poetry Month from May 2 – 23 at Alphabet City. 
• The Pittsburgh Opera is presenting The Passion of Mary Cardwell Dawson, April 27 through May 5, at the Byham Theater.
