The 2024 General Election in Pennsylvania and across America

The 2024 General Election in Pennsylvania and across America will be held on Tuesday, November 5. On the ballot are the federal offices of presidential Electors, each of the seats for the United States House of Representatives, and a third of the seats of the Senate, as well as many State offices, including Governor in some States and other statewide offices, legislative offices and other offices. In Pennsylvania, the office of Governor is not on the ballot, but the statewide offices of Attorney General, Treasurer and Auditor General, as well as every seat in the House of Representatives and half the seats in the Senate. In some of these contests, there are non-Trumpist Republican candidates who believe in the GOP’s conservative principles and not the populist mix of protectionism, isolationism, nativisim, authoritarianism, cruelty and corruption of Trumpism. In one unusual race, non-Trumpist Republican incumbent U.S. Representative Dan Newhouse of Washington is facing a general election challenge from a Trumpist Republican candidate endorsed by Donald Trump. Conservative voters should consider voting for Newhouse and other non-Trumpist Republican or independent or third-party candidates on the ballot versus liberal Democrats. If there are no such true center-right candidates’ names on the ballot, or if the Democratic nominees are not acceptably moderate or at least pro-life, then write in the names of qualified Republican or conservative candidates, instead of accepting any Trumpist as worthy of votes, especially any who have failed to oppose Trump publicly. As I have posted, Trump and Trumpism are a cancer on the conservative movement and a mortal threat to the Republican Party. The only way to save the movement and the party that is its vehicle is to purge Trump and Trumpism completely, instead of accepting and thus encouraging the binary choices of unacceptable candidates that the major political parties try to force on the electorate. Voting for the “lesser of two evils” is voting for evil, instead of exercising the choice to vote for good. In addition to elective offices, there are ballot questions of interest to conservatives across the Union.
