Voters Flock To Ithan Elementary School To Vote In 4th Ward Election

RADNOR, PA—Ithan Elementary School polls were overflowing with voters, candidates, and political supporters Tuesday afternoon at a special election for a seat on the Radnor Board of Commissioners representing the Fourth Ward.

The seat opened up when former Commissioner Lisa Borowski resigned on Nov. 28 after being elected to serve as a state representative of District 168, which consists of Radnor, Newtown, Edgmont, and Middletown townships.

In December, the township commissioners unanimously appointed Jim Riley to a vacancy. Riley was the lone candidate to apply for the position.

Riley was greeting voters throughout the day. Friends and family members were stopping by to vote and socialize.

Riley, a Democrat, is running against Republican candidate Steve Morris.

The winner of the special election will represent Ward 4, which is in the Newtown Square, Bryn Mawr and Rosemont sections of the township.

School board candidates Lon Rosenblum and Clare Girton were at the polls meeting voters.

“I’ve been so engaged and invested in the Radnor schools,’” Girton said of the decision to run. “I am proud of the education the people have access to in Radnor.

By 3 p.m., a total of 322 voters cast their ballots.

The poll is open until 8 p.m.
