U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.) on Tuesday sued the board of elections of a Pennsylvania county that didn’t have enough paper ballots on Election Day for failing to certify his victory by the Nov. 28 deadline. Cartwright was named the winner on Nov. 9, over Trump-endorsed business owner Jim Bognet, a Republican, in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District. The Luzerne County Board of Elections was left deadlocked on Nov. 28 after two Republican board members voted not to certify, two Democrat board members voted to certify, and one Democrat board member abstained from voting, splitting the results. Cartwright’s lawsuit is requesting...

As the funeral parade of fire trucks passed beneath an enormous U.S. flag suspended over the roadway, the citizens of the twin towns of Berwick and Nescopeck were dealing with tragedies that seemed out of proportion for such a small population. Sunday afternoon’s procession – going down Nescopeck’s main throughfare, across the Susquehanna to Berwick, and back – was for Dale Baker, 19, whose funeral was held alongside that of his sister, Star Baker, 22, earlier in the day. The siblings were two of the 10 victims of a house fire in Nescopeck on Aug. 5. Dale was an up-and-coming...

EXETER, Pa. — As traffic made its way down Schooley Avenue on Tuesday, the giant Trump signs on Jeff Davis’ porch were impossible to miss. “Make America Great Again,” one read. “No more bulls—,” proclaimed another. Vice President Mike Pence would hold a rally down the road a few hours later in this former coal mining town, but Davis wasn’t going. He suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and says his immune system is “down to nothing.” Standing on his front lawn, Davis, 57, motioned to his wife and daughter on the porch. “I’m still very leery on the COVID thing,” he...

WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A Luzerne County school district is getting a lot of flack regarding a letter sent to parents. The letter demands they pay delinquent lunch bills for their children or face the risk of having their children placed in foster care. And some of that flack is coming from Luzerne County officials. Luzerne County officials say there is no way they would be part of removing children from their homes over unpaid lunch bills or any unpaid bill for that matter. They are demanding a retraction letter from the Wyoming Valley West School District. “I found...

A couple of weeks ago we got the first hint of what was going on in these locales from Axiom Strategies. Even as his national numbers were sinking, Trump was holding on pretty well in those counties. Now they’ve gone even deeper into this particular geographic analysis, and as Politico Reports, Hillary Clinton has a fight on her hands that she’s currently losing. Axiom identified seven counties in seven battleground states that have proved to be bellwethers in the past four elections. Trump, so far, has an edge in four of them, Hillary Clinton has an edge in two, and...

The order from Secretary of Corrections Jeffrey A. Beard on Sept. 2 has upset many correctional officers who wore the stars and stripes and yellow pins to show support for military personnel fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom. "No one wants to get fired, but it's a matter of principle," said Jim Chernavage, business agent for the Pennsylvania State Corrections Officers Association. Beard said in his order that the responsibility of the department of...
