Polls open across Bucks County as key races draw voter focus
Bucks County residents head to the polls today as voting centers open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. across 304 precincts. Chief Clerk Gail Humphrey is urging all eligible voters to participate. Those who received mail-in ballots but now prefer to vote in person may do so by bringing their ballot to their polling location and surrendering it before casting a machine vote. Mail-in ballots can also be dropped off by 8 p.m. Tuesday at government service centers in Levittown, Doylestown, or Quakertown. As of Monday, more than 69,000 mail-in ballots had been returned, a figure expected to rise by day’s end. Two countywide races are drawing particular attention: the contest for district attorney between Republican incumbent Jennifer Schorn and Democrat Joe Khan, and the Sheriff’s race between incumbent Republican Fred Harran and Democrat Danny Ceisler. Both GOP candidates are running on public safety and “tough-on-crime” platforms in a county that has closely watched recent debates over law enforcement and justice reform.
Superintendent presents dire prediction if budget is not passed
Morrisville School District officials are warning that a prolonged budget impasse in Harrisburg could force a temporary shutdown of district operations early next year. Superintendent Andrew Doster informed families Monday that without a finalized state budget, Morrisville, which depends on state aid for more than half its funding, will be unable to meet payroll or operational costs by mid-January. If the stalemate continues, the district plans to suspend all instruction, athletics, and student services effective January 30, 2026. “We’ve delayed payments, frozen spending, and used every available tool,” Doster wrote, calling the situation “increasingly dire.” The school board will meet November 19 to review finances and discuss contingency plans.
Bucks County mother sues Roblox over child exploitation claims
A Bucks County woman has filed suit in California against Roblox Corp., alleging the online gaming platform failed to protect her fourteen-year-old son from sexual exploitation by a predator posing as another child. The complaint accuses Roblox of negligence and fraudulent concealment, saying the company ignored reports of predatory activity and marketed its platform to children despite known risks. The boy, then thirteen, was allegedly coerced into sharing explicit images. The lawsuit seeks damages and reforms to Roblox’s safety protocols. The company has not yet responded in court.
