As of June 17, the results from the June 2 primary were still listed as "unofficial" on the Chester County Voter Services' website. Results were delayed due to the need to collect and process mail-in ballots. So bear in mind that the following information may be subject to change.
Across Chester County, turnout was 34% overall, and most of the precincts throughout the county had turnouts in the 30% range. Pennsbury Township's North-1 precinct had the county's highest turnout, at 60%, and Kennett Township's third precinct had a 51% turnout (turnout is always superb due, I believe, to the presence of the Kendal/Crosslands retirement community, home of many highly educated and politically active retirees). Newlin had a 41% turnout, and here in West Marlborough 250 of the 593 registered voters cast their ballots.
In the presidential race, countywide Joe Biden received 60,280 votes (81% of the Democratic vote) and Bernie Sanders got 11,694 (15%). On the Republican side, Donald Trump received 38,008 votes (82% of the Republican vote).
For the Sixth District in the U.S. Congress, Democratic incumbent Chrissy Houlihan received 71,116 votes and Republican challenger John Emmons received 44,285.
In the race for state Senator in the 19th District (the seat held for many years by Democrat Andy Dinniman, who is retiring), state Rep. Carolyn Comitta received 51% of the vote, beating Don Vymazal (31%) and Kyle Boyer (16%). Comitta, former mayor of West Chester, will face Republican Kevin Runey in November.
In the 160th District (currently represented by Republican Stephen Barrar, who is retiring), Democrat Anton Andrew beat Cathy Spahr, 84% to 14%, and will face Republican Craig Williams, who was unchallenged.
I'll keep an eye on the results and will let you know when they are "final." The excellent website is at https://pennsylvania.totalvote.com/Chester
