Franklin County Dem primary voter given R ballot [View all]
https://www.timesonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2022/05/20/franklin-county-pennsylvania-democrat-republican-ballot-midterm-pa-election-primary-coverage/65356754007/But that's not the story. The real nugget is that this Dem voter had never voted in a primary, but was highly motivated by the senate and governor elections.
Hildebrand said in a phone interview Thursday that before Tuesday, she had never voted in a primary election.
She said she typically waits for general elections, but with all the issues surrounding state and federal elections in recent years, the retired Verizon worker was anxious to vote in Tuesday's primary, which featured races for a number of state and federal offices.
"Now I'm really into it. I'm paying attention," said Hildebrand, who was especially interested in U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races on the ticket.

Franklin County is a very red area. In fact, it's Mastriano's home county. These are exactly the kind of voters Dems need to motivate in Nov. That this voter is now highly engaged in the upcoming election by the senate (Fetterman) and governor (Shapiro) candidates is very encouraging.
