By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
The election is over — Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States.
You know what’s not over? The COVID-19 pandemic. More than 180,000 new cases were reported Friday, some 5,500 in Pennsylvania. Over the last week, Chester County is averaging 100 new cases a day — and generally speaking, we’re doing better than average, But still...

On Stage: D’Alesandro brings laughs to Philly; RIP, Boot and Saddle

Eric D’Alessandro
That the possibility finding a live show in the area by a national act has been virtually eliminated by COVID-19 restrictions is hardly a laughing matter.
For example, just this week, one of Philadelphia’s long running and highly respected rock clubs closed for good.
However, going out this weekend for a live indoor show...
Trump, Pa. Republicans trying to steal an election they lost
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
In the last few days, Chester County has become famous — just maybe not in the way most of us would like.
In the fevered dreams of some, Chester County’s officials are part of a vast conspiracy to prevent Donald Trump from being reelected President. Social media is roaring — people from thousands of miles away lecture me on what happened in...

By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
To be blunt: what the @#$% was that?
Looking over the Chester County election results there were a couple of head scratchers — and races that defied the polling and conventional wisdom (especially mine).
While Joe Biden winning Chester County by a remarkable 17 points was a bit of a surprise, he had virtually no coattails. Typically, such a blow...
Election 2020: Biden wins Chesco, Comitta, Kane win st. Senate seats; 2 legislative races too close to call
Updated Monday, 7:30 to better reflect recount status in the 158th District.
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
It’s not just the presidential race that continues to be too close to call: a pair of Chester County state legislative races are basically too close to call — both await the last of provisional/military/foreign ballots and may well head to recounts in the coming weeks.
