The Democratic governor cast an early ballot, drawing attention to election integrity and a hotly contested race for attorney general.
Gov. Josh Shapiro shows his ballot to election officials before he drops it in the box Sunday at a Montgomery County in-person satellite voting site in Willow Grove, one day ahead of the voter registration deadline for the April 23 Pennsylvania primary election.Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family cast early primary ballots Sunday to draw attention to a hotly contested attorney general race and the state’s early voting options.
Shapiro also made a “special note,” acknowledging that Pennsylvania’s Jewish community would be observing Passover on election day. The governor said his family had opted to vote early because they will be at their official residence in Harrisburg during the holiday.Politically, the position is hotly sought after as it is often viewed as a stepping stone to higher statewide offices.
On the GOP side, State Rep. Craig Williams will face off against former York County prosecutor David Sunday, who has scored a party endorsement. But the governor’s promotion of early voting methods and utilization of a satellite polling place also seemed a calculated move as Pennsylvania — and its electoral system — are poised to play a pivotal and heavily scrutinized role in the 2024 presidential election.
