Official Election Results

Montgomery County, PA just posted official election results from November 4. Who am I to chide them for taking so long? I haven't updated my sidebar to the left in something like four years!

Bryn Athyn, where I live, has been a Republican stronghold since it was founded. I don't know when that was, but it was incorporated in 1916. In 2008, for the first time ever, I believe, a Democratic candidate received the highest number of votes:
Registration & turnout
  Registration         969
  Cartridge turnout    703
  Absentee turnout      54
  Total turnout        757

Presidential electors
  Barack Obama (Dem)   373  (50.20%)  (49.27%)
  John McCain  (Rep)   353  (47.51%)  (46.63%)
  Bob Barr     (Lib)    14   (1.88%)   (1.85%)
  Ralph Nader  (Ind)     3   (0.40%)   (0.40%)
  Total                743

  Undervote             14             (1.85%)
Total turnout was 78.12%. I interpret the undervote as "None of the above." The first column of percentages is based on total votes for the office; those in the second column are based on total turnout.

For all other offices, Bryn Athyn went Republican, with candidates getting from 53.52% (Marina Kats, for Representative in Congress) to 64.06% (Thomas Murt, incumbent Representative in the General Assembly, who even I voted for).

We'll see if I've been sufficiently shamed by Montgomery County to update my sidebar soon.
