Incumbents fare well in Conneaut School Board races
The two candidates on the ballot in Region 3 both cross-filed and the outcome was the same in both the Republican and the Democratic primary as incumbent Adam Horne defeated Brooke Leuthold in the race for a single nomination for a four-year term. In the Republican primary, Horne received 428 votes to Leuthold's 148 while in the Democratic primary he received 172 votes to 96 for Leuthold. School board candidates in Pennsylvania are permitted to cross-file for nominations from both parties. Region 3 consists of Conneaut Lake Borough and Sadsbury, Greenwood and East Fallowfield townships.
All three primary candidates in Region 2 will be on the ballot once again in the general election.
Incumbent Dot Luckock cross-filed for both primaries and was the only candidate on the Democratic ballot, where she received 237 votes. Luckock, who has been the board's chair since late 2017, also received 276 votes in the Republican primary, putting her in third place behind Robert Burnham with 401 votes and incumbent John Burnham with 397.
Region 2 consists of Conneautville and Springboro boroughs and Spring, Summerhill and Summit townships.
Incumbent Ryan Klink was the only candidate on the ballot in the Region 1 Republican primary and will advance to the general election with 419 votes. The Democratic primary in Region 1 had no candidates on the ballot. The race received 25 write-in votes that have not yet been tallied.
Region 1 comprises Linesville Borough and Beaver, Conneaut, Pine, North Shenango and West Fallowfield townships.

Gov. Josh Shapiro says Trump's push to end mail-in voting won't affect Pennsylvania elections
Gov. Josh Shapiro said Tuesday that President Trump's promise to end mail-in voting before the 2026 midterm elections won't affect elections in Pennsylvania. On Monday, Mr. Trump said he planned to sign an executive order "to end mail-in ballots, because they're corrupt," but Shapiro said his comments were unconstitutional. "Donald Trump can sign whatever executive order he wants; it will have absolutely no bearing on our elections here in Pennsylvania, and we will once again have free and fair, safe and secure elections led by Democratic and Republican clerks of elections in each of our 67 counties," Shapiro said at an unrelated event. During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Oval Office on Monday, Mr. Trump said that he wanted to ban mail-in voting, however, the Constitution doesn't give him the power to do so. According to Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution, states have the power to regulate elections, not the president. That can only be changed by Congress. Mr. Trump has claimed that mail-in voting is susceptible to voter fraud and that mail-in ballots can be tampered with or enable people to vote multiple times. Pennsylvania enacted mail-in voting in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 election, which Mr. Trump lost to former President Joe Biden. The U.S. Census Bureau said that nearly a third of ballots nationwide were cast by mail in the 2024 election, which Mr. Trump won over former Vice President Kamala Harris. The Committee of Seventy, a nonprofit government watchdog organization in Philadelphia, called Mr. Trump's comments dangerous. "It seems clear that these efforts by the federal government are an attempt to sow doubt in our elections ahead of the 2026 midterms," The Committee of Seventy wrote in a statement in part. "Whether the intention is to lay the groundwork for rejecting results in the event of a loss, or to exploit states where one party controls all branches of government to push a federal agenda, the facts are the facts: our elections are secure, mail-in voting is secure, and election administration must remain in the hands of the states." In the 2024 election, Mr. Trump claimed there was "massive cheating" in Philadelphia, which was false, according to election officials. He didn't provide any evidence for his claim. Mr. Trump attempted to challenge the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania numerous times after he lost the state to Biden, but the courts found his claims were baseless. "For him to try and put more misinformation out there to stoke more division and fear amongst people who want to exercise their constitutional right to pick the leaders in their communities, in their commonwealth, that is just cynical and wrong," Shapiro Doan contributed to this report.

‘Tired of Democracy dying': Newsom redistricting push getting pushback for disenfranchising Californians
California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom's redistricting effort is receiving pushback from Republicans in the state assembly who are accusing the Democrats of keeping them in the dark and of "disenfranchising Californians." GOP Assemblywoman Alexandra Macedo, vice chair of the California State Assembly Committee on Elections, slammed Democrats for giving her "barely 24 hours" to examine the redistricting bill before a Tuesday hearing – while Democrats, she claimed, had advance notice. Macedo vowed to defeat the redistricting push, saying, "We are in the super-minority, but we are effective, and we will defeat this." She added that by the time she received the bill's language as vice chair of the elections committee, several Democratic co-authors signed on. That, she argued, meant Democrats had a first look, while she had "barely 24 hours before committee tomorrow to prepare." Macedo warned that witnesses appearing at Tuesday's hearing could face legal consequences if they refused to answer her questions. "Let me warn anybody who will be testifying tomorrow. If you don't answer my questions tomorrow, attorneys will be making sure you answer them in a courtroom," she said, adding, "You can run, but you cannot hide." Despite Democrats dominating California politics, Macedo pledged, "We are not backing down from this fight." "You are disenfranchising Californians, and we are tired of democracy dying here," she said. "We will fight back." She added that if Republicans are not able to stop the redistricting plans in the assembly, then their victory will be "in a courtroom or it will be at the ballot box." Four GOP state lawmakers have filed a lawsuit in California's Supreme Court to stop the Democrat-controlled legislature from holding a vote by the end of this week to advance the redistricting push. Assemblywoman Kate Sanchez, one of the four Republicans behind the suit, told Fox News Digital that she joined the lawsuit because "Californians have already spoken clearly at the ballot box." "In 2008, voters approved Proposition 11 to take redistricting power away from politicians and give it to an independent citizens' commission," she said. "Two years later, with Proposition 20, voters doubled down and expanded that power to include congressional districts, passing it by a decisive 61% to 39%. Governor Newsom's plan is a direct attempt to undo that mandate and put politicians back in control. I'm standing up because this isn't about partisan advantage; it's about respecting the will of the voters who demanded fairness and transparency." Newsom announced he would advance a redistricting map in California to counter the Texas redistricting bill being pushed by President Donald Trump. On Friday, California Democrats and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) released a new district map that would likely eliminate five GOP congressional seats, theoretically nullifying the five additional seats Republicans would gain if Texas' redistricting push is successful. The California legislature introduced a constitutional amendment on Monday to be brought to a referendum vote in November. If passed by California voters, the amendment would allow the legislature to temporarily suspend its nonpartisan districting commission and move forward with its redistricting plans as laid out by the DCCC. Newsom's office declined Fox News Digital's request for comment, with a spokesperson saying he would "point you to the Legislature given this is about the legislative process." Fox News Digital also reached out to the office of Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, a Democrat, but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
