Show Notes
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.
