READING, Pa. – The Pennsylvania primary election in Berks County is on the warmer side.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know if I recall an election night being quite this warm,” said clerk Nadine Smet-Weiss.<\/p>\n
Will higher temperatures impact voter turnout on a toasty primary election night?<\/p>\n
“For this being a primary, we know the primaries are a little less popular than the fall elections,” Smet-Weiss said.<\/p>\n
Voting organizers say the primary is often a tricky time to get people out to vote and they hope for pleasant conditions to encourage more people.<\/p>\n
“Probably we’re having fewer people than we have in the past, at least up to this point, and I wouldn’t be surprised this weather has something to do with it,” Smet-Weiss added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"READING, Pa. – The Pennsylvania primary election in Berks County is on the warmer side. “I don’t know…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[279,349,87570,28,736,128,130,129],"class_list":["post-197203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks","tag-berks-county","tag-nadine-smet-weiss","tag-pennsylvania","tag-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
