Harrisburg's site is thought to have been inhabited by Native Americans as early as 3000 BC. The first European contact with Native Americans in Pennsylvania was made by the Englishman, Captain John Smith, who journeyed from Virginia here in 1608 and visited with the local tribe. In 1719, In 1785, John Harris, Jr. made plans to lay out a town on his father's land, which he named Harrisburg.

“Probably needs to explain the voting method there....”

I would like to see that, too. One of the opening speakers explained it, but it would be reinforced if Trump pointed out exactly what people should do.

I have a feeling he’s wrapping it up and won’t do that, though.
