Note that Voter ID is not in effect for this election. Unless you are a first-time voter at your polling location, you are not required to show ID. However, the poll workers may ask for ID and you should be allowed to vote if you refuse to show ID. Again, first-time voters must show a valid PA ID.

Of particular note is the election for Borough Council in Media, where two groups of candidates are competing in the Democratic Primary:

• Media First
• Media Democrats

Election records show that of the Media First team:

• Jim Cunningham switched from Republican to Democrat sometime between January and May of 2013
• Monika Rehoric is a registered Democrat
• Bill Tyson is a registered Republican
• Sam Lemon is a registered Independent

The team is running as “tri-partisan.”

The Media Democrats Team:

• Amy Johnson and Lisa Johnson (no relation) switched from Independent to Democrat sometime between January and May of 2013
• Kevin Boyer and Sayre Dixon are both registered Democrat

Finally, voter registration records show that around 100 Republicans have switched parties between January 2013 and May 2013 from Republican to Democrat. The assumption is that it is solely to vote in the Primary, as it includes long-time Republicans such as Pete Alyanakian, members of the Pileggi family, and Paul Cavanagh (President of Broomall’s Lake Country Club) and family members.
