Philly/PA Election Endorsements

Here is my endosement list for today’s elections in Philadelphia. I live in the 2nd District, so my vote on city council went to Damon Roberts. There is little chance that he can beat Anna Verna. It’s a huge ballot, which is causing delays. I was the 75th person to vote in my polling station at 10AM. There were only two people in front of me but it still took 15 minutes for me to get in the voting booth. Even with a pre-prepared list, it still took me about five minutes to punch everything in and make sure I covered everything. I strongly suggest bringing a list.
