Despite the hotly contested mayoral race in Lancaster, turnout was only slightly higher in the city, at 26 percent, said Mary Stehman, the top elections official here. In the city, 9,091 of the 35,400 registered voters went to the polls.


That is just pathetic. Over 25000 city residents are too busy or just don't care; more than likely the latter.

It is sad that so very few folks in Lancaster seem to care who is running the city.

In Wrightsville, the small Susquehanna River town in York County, voters elected a convicted felon as mayor.

Republican Stephen D. Rambler won in a landslide against Democratic challenger Dawn Lindeman despite a well-publicized criminal background.

In 1996, Rambler, formerly of Mountville, pleaded guilty in a Harrisburg federal court to a felony count of extortion.

Charged by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, he was sentenced to two years’ probation and was fined $550. He solicited sexually explicit photos in an ad he placed in a swingers magazine and then attempted to extort $50 from those who responded, by threatening to publicly expose their letters and photos.

The unofficial results are:

Stephen D. Rambler 398

Dawn Lindeman 187

Landslide victory for convicted felon. LNP has a way with words.

It was not a stunning win to me. Smithgall has done an incredible job of p!$$!^6 people off for the last eight years. People got tired of his bull$h!7.


Very intelligent post, thanks for that.

No matter what tone or language was used, it is very true.
