The 2018 General Election in Pennsylvania and Across the American Union

           Tuesday, November 6 is General Election Day in Pennsylvania and across the American Union.  There are critically important federal and state offices on the ballot.

            The federal offices are for Congress, including each seat in the United States House of Representatives and one third of the Senate, including one of Pennsylvania’s two seats.  The Legislative Branch is a co-equal Branch of Government to the Executive and Judicial.  Each branch is checked and balanced by the other two under the Constitution.

            State offices include governor and state legislative offices in the Keystone States, while there are other state offices on the ballot in other American States.  Some States also have referendums. 

            These offices affect the federal Union, States, communities and people in many ways.  Also, the candidates elected to lower offices can be promoted in the future to higher offices.

            There are relatively conservative candidates for many of these offices, some of whom are not Trumpist (populist, nativist, protectionist and isolationist), including in Pennsylvania. 

           With a lower voter turnout than in presidential election years, each vote is more significant.
