Prior to the primary election, my husband and I participated in one of the multiple, well-publicized voting system practice sessions offered by Montgomery County. If a person has ever taken a questionnaire or test that requires filling in the bubbles, that’s how easy completing the new paper ballot was. Then we each took our paper ballot and fed it into a scanner, which was just like putting a dollar bill into a Coke machine. Who hasn’t done these things?

Justice, our children, and our money. All three of these will be affected by the choices we make in the upcoming Nov. 7 election. With all the attention being paid to the 2018 and 2020 elections in the media, we in Pennsylvania need to be reminded that we hold two elections every year and this is our time to select judges, school board members, town councils, auditors, tax collectors, and mayors who will have a greater effect on our lives in many ways.
