In other news, all four registered voters in Centralia in Columbia County have applied for a mail-in ballot, though none of the 21 ballots yet returned have come from there. I will be watching as ballot returns get reported whether or not Centralia can be a 100%-100% community this year.

The effect of the uncertainty over trust in the USPS to deliver mail-in ballots can be seen in the number of Democratic applications from Allegheny County this year as compared to the same time in 2022: 2022: 109,069 2026: 90,871 It's different for Republicans: 2022: 17,500 2026: 20,488

The special election for the 42nd House district was held six months ago, but it's worth posting a map showing the dominance of Jen Mazzocco's win. She won all precincts with at least 2/3 of the vote and exceeded 80% district-wide, much higher than the 66.6% won by predecessor Dan Miller in 2024.

Brittany Bloam won the most hotly contested primary race in the county, winning 63% of the vote against Patrick Catena, Jr. She had a late start, but she quickly won broad support across her district and the county, and her hard work resulted in winning all but three precincts in the 45th district.

The primary in House District 28 was a matter of who could win voters outside of their home territory. Robert Bertha won his home municipality of West Deer, but not a single precinct elsewhere in the district, which was won handily by Richland Township resident Jeremy Ferderber.

La'Tasha Mayes turned in the most dominant primary win in Allegheny County, finishing with less than 70% of the vote in only three precincts, all in her opponent's home turf in Ward 13. Will Anderson managed to win five precincts in his State Committee race, but didn't come close in any in this one.

When looking at the results of the Democratic primary for the 42nd Senate District, it looks like the usual blowout, with Wayne Fontana winning 281 precincts and newcomer Paul Steenkiste winning only 11, all of which were in his home area of Lawrenceville and neighboring Millvale.

Of the 40 candidates who ran for the 33 spots on the State Democratic Committee spread across five Senate districts, four failed to win a single precinct outright: Bryan Neft (SD42), Lyon Zeibak, Ross Tedder, and Tyler Reinthaler (all SD43). Of those four, only Zeibak was elected to the committee.

In terms of Will Parker, West Elizabeth is the new Haysville. He beat Summer Lee there in this year's primary 16 votes to 13. It is the only individual precinct he won in Allegheny County.

Interesting factoid: Joseph Leckenby, who only managed to receive 18.22% of the vote in the special election for the 42nd State House district, still gathered more votes, 2,330, than were cast for all candidates in the special election for the 22nd State House district (2,191).

It's Map Time! Here is a map of Allegheny County showing which Court of Common Pleas candidate won in each municipality or, for Pittsburgh, each city ward.
Amanda Green-Hawkins dominated in most areas except the far SE and far north, Matt Rudzki received solid support from areas around Fox Chapel (though he did not win Fox Chapel itself), Michele Santicola won areas that have a strong Republican presence, and Mt. Lebanon loves Dan Miller.

Alex Rose is proving that in Allegheny County, it's not so much that Democrats win, but also that Republicans lose.

I'm beginning to compare the mail-in ballot statistics this year to those of last year from a statewide perspective and back to 2021 from an Allegheny County perspective. It's difficult to make direct comparisons with 2024 because of the push the Republicans made for same-day in-person voting.

This map shows how voters in Allegheny County who were registered in July 2020 and November 2024 moved during that time period. Areas in red show a net out-migration while areas in green show a net in-migration. This only includes voters who were registered in Allegheny County in both years.
The maps shows, generally, that registered who moved within the county between 2020 and 2024 tended to move from the city of Pittsburgh and centrally-located suburbs outward from the center. Exceptions to this include portions of the Ohio valley and Mon valley.

Judge of the Court of Common Pleas maps coming your way! Within these maps, and for each candidate, any precinct shaded in blue means that the candidate finished in the top eight, and any precinct in any shade of gray means they finished ninth or lower. The darker the shade, the lower they ranked.
