Washington County Judge Pulls Poll Worker After 23 Votes Left in Limbo

Washington County Court of Common Pleas — Reported Site of Poll Worker Removal. Twenty-three people who cast emergency ballots at a Washington County precinct Tuesday may find their votes in jeopardy after an electronic poll book failure meant none of them were ever recorded in a required backup paper ledger. The problem, discovered at the Miraculous Medal Banquet Hall precinct known as Chartiers-3, triggered a scramble by county officials to track the voters down before polls closed and led a judge to pull the precinct's election chief from his post mid-Election Day.

Bedford County Studies ATV and UTV Trail Plan Backed by DCNR Grant

Bedford County officials are studying whether to add ATV and UTV recreational trails, a project that would move forward only if residents back it and if the county can find suitable land. The Bedford County Planning Commission, working with the county commissioners, plans to hold a series of public meetings to gauge local interest. Dates and locations have not been set. Grant Funds a Feasibility Study Planning director Stephanie Clevenstine said the planning office applied for a Department of Conservation and Natural Resources grant in 2024 and received up to $100,000 for a feasibility study in 2025. Part of that study involves working with area municipalities to find out what the public thinks and whether the county can support this kind of project. "We'll be looking at holding public meetings in the coming months to get a sense of if the public wants something like this. And then the municipalities would have to open their roads up to it," Clevenstine said. Finding Land Is a Major Obstacle A key hurdle is land. Because the county doesn't own any property, there is no obvious spot to build a trail, so officials are currently looking at state roads unless someone donates land.

A ‘blue wave' swept both Pennsylvania and the country. How did it look in Centre County?

A graphic for Centre County Democrats’ Election Night Party featured a blue wave — and few realized just how prescient that would become Tuesday night. Democrats made historic election gains across much of Pennsylvania and the country. They’re now set to control the commonwealth’s “trifecta” — meaning Pennsylvania’s governorship, state House and state Senate — for the first time in 33 years. Nationally, the Dems also took control of both the U.S. House and Senate. By the end of Tuesday night, some even labeled it a “ blue tsunami .” “I think it might’ve even exceeded my expectations,” Gov. Josh Shapiro, who also easily won reelection, told CBS on Wednesday morning . Centre County Dems’ Tuesday night party at Hyatt Place State College proved lively, with an energized crowd clapping along to blue gains announced on CNN. They applauded when Annie Andrews flipped a South Carolina Senate seat to blue for the first time in more than 20 years, and they undoubtedly celebrated when Kansas elected a Democratic U.S. senator for the first time since 1932. But, despite the local celebration, no red seats flipped blue in Centre County. U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Howard, and state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte,
