The Democrat thanks supporters for helping her to defeat Republican Chris Cratsley.
Democrat Erin Molchany delivered a victory speech to an intimate group of supporters at Redbeard's Bar & Grill in Pittsburgh's Mount Washington neighborhood on Tuesday night.

'They pay us so much to be here, and we're not doing anything.' - St. Gabriel's poll worker
Poll workers from around Baldwin-Whitehall have often been left bored today by low voter turnout for the April 24 primary election.

"Voter apathy" was the way that one poll worker at the municipal complex described the scene, saying that he doesn't expect traffic to pick up any more today, even after most voters finish their workdays. Another worker at the complex attributed the low voter turnout to a lack of competition for many local races, as well as the national race for the U.S. presidency. He said …
