Reply to comment by opusupo in Voting hours extended in Pa.’s Luzerne County over ballot shortage by otterly_icy

It's historically a democrat dominated county. The republican majority only occurred for the first time in 2019. Trump really gave Luzerne county an identity crisis we haven't recovered from.

Edit: I grew up there. There's a book written about it (The Forgotten). Our political history is documented and easily accessed on Wikipedia. Not sure why the dislikes, but fuck 'em, I'm right.

The county is nearly exclusively run by Republicans, no? And the election director was picked by them, no?

Yeah currently. I'm just adding context to explain that hasn't historically been the case.
