From this piece in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
In Cranberry, the county’s most populous municipality, precincts were humming with activity. One poll worker in Cranberry said the number of ballots being cast was approaching presidential election levels.
And:
At the University of Pittsburgh, a student polling place in Posvar Hall was inundated by 2:30 p.m. About 100 people lined up to vote. Some said they had been waiting for more than 45 minutes.
“This is like the presidential election,” said judge of elections Alethea Sims, breathlessly trying to move voters through.
And:
[O]ne 75-year-old resident was happy to reveal what she did. She didn’t want to see her name in the paper, she said, but she and her husband, 76, cast a straight-party vote for the Republicans, even though both are lifelong Democrats who have never before voted for a Republican.
“First time ever,” she said. “We’re just not happy with the way things are going.”
