They may account for 13 percent of the land in Lower Merion Township, but if one were to draw up a Top 10 of the most contentious, drawn-out community debates of the past decade, institutions – that is, disputes about how they evolve and grow to stay current and vital, while inevitably impacting the residential neighborhoods that, in many cases, surround them – would take an even greater share.

A recent U.S. Census Bureau report shows that blacks had the highest voter turnout among racial identifications in the 2012 general election.

Nationwide, 66.2 percent of black citizens voted, exceeding for the first time the turnout of white voters, which was 64.1 percent. In 2008, 66.1 percent of whites voted, to 64.7 percent of blacks.

Back in 1996, white turnout was 60.7 percent and black turnout was 53 percent.

Black turnout also exceeded white turnout in Pennsylvania last year, 65.2 percent to 62.5 percent.

Read a Huffington Post report on the census findings, and see below for statistics comparing other voting demographics:

Group PA turnout % US turnout % All 61.6 61.8 White 62.5 64.1 Black 65.2 66.2 Hispanic 45.1 48 Asian 47.6 47.3 Men 60.4 59.7 Women 62.7 63.7

Voter turnout is expected to be far lower in Tuesday's off-year primary election. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

When Ardmore business leaders were making plans for a community day to help kick off U.S. Open week on the Main Line, just three weeks away now, they wanted to wrap up the event with a free outdoor movie, golf-related, of course.

Matchmaking with homeowners and would-be renters for the U.S. Open is more difficult than it would appear as homeowners’ anticipation for a windfall are clashing with renters' expectations for the best deal possible.
