Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said today's municipal primary election in Pennsylvania ran smoothly, with county elections boards reporting only minor, isolated issues."As always, I'd like to thank the hundreds of county election officials and the approximately 45,000 poll workers who made democracy possible today," Schmidt said. "Because of them, Pennsylvanians were able to securely cast their vote at more than 9,000 precincts across our 67 counties."Registered Pennsylvania voters received about 800,000 mail ballots for this primary election. As of 7:30 p.m., counties were reporting about 70% of those ballots had been returned.Final voter turnout numbers will be available in several days, after all eligible votes have been counted, but anecdotal reports indicate turnout was typical for municipal primary elections.Speakers include:Al Schmidt, Secretary of the Commonwealth
