If it Were Up to Whitehall, Mitt Romney Would Be President

But Baldwin Borough and Baldwin Township supported Barack Obama.

Democrat Barack Obama won the national vote on Tuesday, and he won in Pennsylvania.

But, if Whitehall Borough alone decided the presidency of the United States, Republican Mitt Romney would be the winner.

According to unofficial results from the Allegheny County Division of Elections, Romney gained 130 more votes in Whitehall than President Obama did.
