It's a different story for the candidates listed as "Democratic". 92 out of 161 wards and municipalities gave the five "Democratic" candidates the most votes, most prominently in almost all of Pittsburgh and the suburbs due east.

There were even fewer municipalities where the five candidates listed as "Republican" and the three listed as "Democratic/Republican" were in the top eight: Forward, Frazer, and South Versailles. Every other ward and municipality had at least one listed "Democrat" in the top eight.

The dominant showing by the Democrats can be seen by showing those areas where the top five candidates were those listed as "Republican". This numbered six: Fawn, Forward, Frazer, Lincoln, South Versailles, and West Elizabeth, clustered in the far NE or far SE of the county.

One theme of the recent election was that, other than Democratic dominance, candidates who cross-filed with both major parties tended to be hurt in the results, exemplified by the Court of Common Pleas results where the three candidates listed with both parties finished behind all Democrats.
