Voters in the Media Patch area were split in their votes for President of the United States. Nationally and in Pennsylvania, President Barack Obama was re-elected to a second term but here in Media Patch the votes weren't so simple.
Media Borough and Upper Providence Township voted to re-elect Obama but Middletown and Edgmont townships voted for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as their pick for President in the November election. (All four of these municipalities had 100 percent of machines reporting by 1:30 p.m. Wednesday).
Delaware County, which has a large Republican population, voted to re-elect Obama with 165,206 votes, compared to Romney's 105,450.
Note: As of 3 p.m. Wednesday, all 861 machines in Delaware County precincts were reported, according to the Delaware County Election Bureau results website.

Hi Courtney - Do you know what's going on in Edgmont Township? Still only 3 of 6 machines reporting? Just curious. Thank you!

That is a very good question, Annie, that I'd like to know the answer to as well. Delaware County overall still isn't reporting all of its machines. Sometimes it does take until the next morning to see results so hopefully we'll see something soon. Thanks!

All of Edgmont and now Delaware County machines are reporting now.
