There are two candidates vying for the GOP nod for the 30th District state Senate seat that is being vacated by Sen.

In 2014, 24.9 percent of voters had cast a ballot by the day before the election; in 2010, 28 percent; in 2006, 27 percent; and in 2002, 32 percent.

Thanks to the new maps, Democrats could pick up several seats this fall, Li said, making Pennsylvania a crucial battleground for the House.

Asked if a Trump-style campaign might find traction in Oregon, Melissa Garner, a registered Republican, said: "In Oregon?"

The state Supreme Court redrew the districts in February after ruling in a gerrymandering case that Republicans who controlled state government in 2011 had unconstitutionally drawn the districts to benefit their party's candidates, giving Democrats an edge they did not have before by pushing back the election date. Marino is competing against Doug McLinko for the Republican nomination. In the Sixth District, Republicans are defending an open seat as Michael Baumgartner is leaving and running for Spokane County treasurer.

The two districts have been without representation since late December, when Gov. Scott Walker appointed incumbents Frank Lasee and Keith Ripp, both Republicans, to posts in his administration.

Tiger Woods' biggest statement comes after play in bold step
He won the tournament by four shots and was greeted on the green by a hug from his wife Dowd, the mother of their four children. That was no problem because he had banked such a lead, matching Greg Norman's mark for low three-round total of 19 under.

The three also differ on policy, with Buehler giving mixed support to abortion and Wooldridge taking an opposite stance. Their ballots will be counted once the county office has completed the voter registration verification process. Alan DeBoer retiring, no incumbent will be on the ticket.

In the 12th Congressional District race, U.S. Rep. Tom Marino of Lycoming Twp., Lycoming County, faces longtime Bradford County Commissioner Doug McLinko of Wysox Twp.

Keeping the 15th and winning the 3rd would give Democrats a supermajority in the Senate, but a loss in either would spoil that plan.

GOP voters have a field of eight candidates for the new 13th Congressional District seat, which is replacing the 9th District seat held now by retiring U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster.

Polls are open 7 a.m.to 8 p.m. A party's endorsement also allows a candidate to appear in the same "line", the first line in a primary, on a voting machine, which makes it easy for a loyal Democrat or Republican to vote for all the candidates who got the party's seal of approval.
