Polls Close In Norristown, See Live Primary Results

NORRISTOWN, PA — The Norristown municipal council could see significant turnover over the coming year, and that all starts with the primary election on Tuesday night.

Polls have now closed across Pennsylvania and results have begun to trickle in for key races, including in Norristown.

Check back to Patch throughout the evening for results as they come in.

Only Democrats are running for the council in the heavily blue municipality. A total of seven candidates have filed for two open at-large seats, while both Ward 1 and Ward 3 are being contested between two Democratic candidates apiece.

The latest results will be listed below as they come in. They're current as of 10:31 p.m., with Robinson and McMahon holding huge leads.

At-large seat candidates (two advance to general election):

• Mydera Robinson: 589 (plus 308 from last update)
• David McMahon: 426 (plus 207)
• Valerie Scott Cooper Moman: 374 (plus 231)
• Blayne Pierce: 329 (plus 237)
• Kristian Giammatteo: 106 (plus 29)
• Rose De La Luz: 179 (plus 105)
• Kaden Beegle: 34 (plus 14)

Ward 1 candidates (one advances):

• Rashaad Bates: 154 (plus 99)
• Terrance H. Barnes: 128 (plus 99)

Ward 3 candidates (one advances):

• Dustin S. Queenan: 241 (plus 142)
• Tiffani A. Todd: 138 (plus 70)

Because no Republicans are running for council, the winners of the primary will be the de facto winners of the seats, as they will run unopposed in the general election in November.

The council's turnover is not limited to the election, as a pair of resignations this year spurred a change in the guard. Councilman Thomas Lepera resigned in February, while Councilwoman Lauren Hughes resigned in March to run for judge of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas this fall. The newest members are Jasmine Griffen, who fills an at-large vacancy, and Natalie Colson, who fills the fourth district seat.
