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.

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

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.
