If the rest of the nation voted like North Whitehall, then Tuesday's election would have had a much different outcome.

Mitt Romney would be president elect - voted in by an almost 2 to 1 margin. Pennsylvania would have new senator named Tom Smith and David Freed would be the commonwealth's attorney general.

The auditor general would be John Maher and Diana Vaughn would soon be Pennsylvania's attorney general.
