ELECTION: Here is how Unionville voted

I'm sure you'll be reading more about the primary election results elsewhere in this week's Kennett Paper (including the spirited write-in battle between Eric Roe and Perry Bentley for Chris Ross' General Assembly seat in Harrisburg), but here are the breakdowns by precinct for the Unionville area.
In East Marlborough Township's East precinct (the polling place is Patton Middle School), voter turnout was 52%. In the Democratic presidential race, Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders, 65% to 34%. On the Republican side, John R. Kasich beat Donald Trump by one vote (233 to 232) and Ted Cruz got 16%. In the U.S. Senate race, Joe Sestak beat Katie McGinty, 53% to 41%, on the Democratic side and Pat Toomey was unopposed on the Republican side. In the race for the retiring Joe Pitts' seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, Chet Beiler beat Lloyd Smucker 56% to 40%.
In East Marlborough Township's West precinct (the polling place is the Willowdale Chapel),  voter turnout was 45%. Clinton beat Sanders, 60% to 38%. Trump beat Kasich, 49% to 33%, and  Cruz got 14%. Sestak beat McGinty by four votes (129 to 125). Beiler beat Smucker, 53% to 42%.
In East Marlborough Township's South precinct (the polling place is the Kennett Square Missionary Baptist Church),voter turnout was 43%. Clinton beat Sanders, 59% to 41%. Trump squeaked by Kasich by one vote (234 to 233) and Cruz got 16%. McGinty beat Sestak, 51% to 44%. Beiler beat Smucker, 60% to 36%.
In Newlin Township, voter turnout was 51%. Clinton beat Sanders, 55% to 45%. Trump got 51% of the vote, Kasich got 29% and Cruz got 17%. Sestak beat McGinty, 46% to 43%.
In Pocopson Township, voter turnout was 44%. Clinton beat Sanders, 62% to 38%. Trump got 45% of the vote, Kasich got 34% and Cruz got 17%. McGinty beat Sestak, 48% to 45%.
In West Marlborough Township, the voter turnout was 47%.  Clinton beat Sanders, 52% to 48%. Trump got 50% of the vote, Kasich got 29% and Cruz got 16%. McGinty beat Sestak, 50% to 42%. Beiler beat Smucker, 57% to 33%.
County-wide, turnout was 42%. Clinton beat Sanders, 55% to 44%. Trump got 46% of the vote, Kasich 31% and Cruz 20%. McGinty beat Sestak, 51% to 42%. Beiler beat Smucker, 58% to 41%, in Chester County but because the Congressional district also includes part of Lancaster County, Smucker was the ultimate winner, 55% to 45%. (Thank you to Lancaster Online reporter Sam Janesch for noting the interesting fact that Beiler and Smucker are second cousins and graduated in the same class at Lancaster Mennonite High School.)
