His township is located between Lancaster and Hershey. The flags, banners and yard signs are still proudly displayed. Some MAGA people even dug out their trump signs that were buried in the snow and put them where they could be seen. They’re diehards, and they don’t like masks.

The good news there were lots of Biden signs this year. The county is still basically red and unlikely to change, even with our aging population passing, but those Biden voters contributed to our state count.

Lebanon Co now has 4 people arrested from the Jan 6 riot, including Brent Bozell’s son with the Hershey Christian School sweatshirt. We’re trying for a record.
