On the ballot in Pennsylvania, the municipality where each candidate lives is printed next to their name. For many of the down-ballot races this leads to people voting for the candidate from their neighborhood. The results of this year's race for Republican State Committeeman in the 40th Senatorial District certainlyconform to that:
Ken Doerbecker McCandless
Ed Kress Shaler
Mike McMullen Hampton
Lou Nudi Ross
James Olson Franklin Park
Note: The results for Hampton and Marshall are township-wide averages due to changes in the voting districts.
