Voting precincts across Centre County reported heavy turnout today as area residents ventured forth to choose a governor, a senator  and other state and local officials.

On this busy election day, people involved in the process paused to reflect on their experiences with reporters from the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications. One candidate said the number of voters took his breath away. An election judge said he knows every vote counts from personal experience. He elected himself to the position he holds today by writing in his name on a ballot cast in 2017.
